Chapter 005: Big Deals

Interested in developing in the United States, there are many topics with Anthony, he is well-informed, and he is more familiar with the investment environment in various parts of the United States. In general, he preferred the west over the dense east.

About an hour later, a man who looked a little like Anthony, but was much younger, approached. He wore a modest suit and looked confident and high-spirited. stepped forward to shake hands with An Feng first, and then said, "Roger Brulane, it's a pleasure to meet you, An from China." ”

An Feng exchanged a few polite words with him, and then got to the point. During the conversation, it was learned that Roger was Anthony's younger brother, and American Express worked only one year older than An Feng. Looking at the business card he handed over, it was just an ordinary clerk, but he didn't expect that when he took An Feng to do business, he drove a white Maserati GT sports car.

An Feng sat in the co-pilot, looked around curiously, Roger saw the doubt in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I know that you are very curious about how an ordinary clerk can drive this kind of car, let me tell you the truth, I am not working for the bank, I am working for the family." ”

"I see." An Feng thought to himself, isn't it the second and third generations?

Riding in a Rogera-style sports car, he came to the bank area to open a checking account and a credit card for him, and deposited all the money into it. Roger explains, "In the U.S. and even in the world, Amex has its own offices, and we can provide the most exclusive services such as personal safes, personal assistants, financial advisors, and membership in certain premium clubs, all with just a phone call away. ”

An Feng felt that he was bragging, so he asked, "Do you have immigration business for me?" ”

Roger shook his head, then smiled, "I find that I kind of like you." ”

"I don't like men." An Feng said seriously.

"Hahaha! You have such a good sense of humor! Roger laughed, and An Feng also laughed a few times. Forget it, he still doesn't understand American humor.

"Of course, the bank does not have these businesses for the time being, but my family is involved in the brokerage business of various industries, and it is also among them to quickly handle immigration for you."

The U.S. service industry is extremely well developed, especially in the field of serving the wealthy. It is no wonder that the United States, as the only superpower, has a lot of rich people, and there is demand for supply, not to mention that An Feng has stored valuable diamonds in bank safes, which is really a potential cash cow.

The agent who applied for his green card took him to fill out the form, went to the immigration office, got back the materials, and waited for the certificate of his real investment to be issued. As long as there is money, the speed of the Americans is really not to say. Some immigrants ran errands, and An Feng followed the real estate agent Manshi Lu world.

At first, he wanted to be a farmer, own a large piece of land, and ride a horse to gallop in the sunset, but in Ohio, Kansas, and Texas, he ran a trip and found that there was a lot of land, but there was only one family on average a few kilometers, which was too lonely.

In this way, pastures, forest farms, etc. are also excluded, and it is okay to use them for vacations, but staying for a long time will make people crazy. After a few days on the road, he decided to invest in a vineyard in California. California's vineyards account for 90% of the U.S. grape industry, and land prices are increasing year by year, making it an investment.

Then there is the issue of location, Napa Valley, Sonoma and other places are the most famous, and at the same time the land is the most expensive, most of them already have owners, and the rest is some leftovers, An Feng vetoed. Moving on to San Luis Obispo County in central California, there are two parcels of land.

One of them asked for more than 3 million yuan, with an area of more than 60 acres, and a house of 1,000 square meters, the environment was not too good, so An Feng went to see the second place. This land is obviously much larger, more than 360 acres of flat land, the house is located on the top of the hill, more than 30 meters above the flat land, and the view is vast.

At the top of the hill sits a mansion of more than 2,000 square meters, equipped with a garden front yard of 5,000 square meters, and a rimless luxury swimming pool of nearly 200 square meters in the backyard, one side of the pool is designed as a straight cliff with a drop of 15 meters. When you're bored, you can lie on the edge of a cliff and look out over the mountains and vineyards.

An Feng fell in love with it at first sight, and although it cost $11 million, he paid it all in one lump sum, along with the original crew working on the vineyard. After drafting the agreement, An Feng made a phone call, and the rest was handed over to the senior lawyer provided by Yuntong, who paid $3,000 in advance, and asked for 800 per hour. It's really the price of bloodsucking, no wonder so many people in the United States become lawyers.

He met in the city of Paso Roble, a twenty-minute drive from the vineyards, and the lawyers on both sides read the terms of the contract one by one, read them very carefully, and made several phone calls during the process, which took more than two hours, and after the lawyers on both sides were satisfied, An Feng signed the contract.

Filled out a check, the land with an area of 1.45 million square meters belonged to him, but his schedule was too tight, and he didn't have time to inspect his territory, so he followed the agent to the immigration office non-stop. The supporting materials have been completed, and after the review is completed, the green card belonging to him will be issued to his hand, a card similar to the domestic ID card, with his avatar, name and other information on it.

I also listened to the intermediary talk about some precautions, especially SSN, which is equivalent to the domestic ID number, but more important, what credit history, bank account, buying a house, buying a car, buying insurance, buying a gun, buying a missile...... It's going to be used. He also discovered an important point, and until he walked out of the immigration office, he still had a Chinese passport.

The agent patiently explained his doubts: "Mr. An, the green card is actually only a permanent residence in the United States, and you are still a Chinese citizen. To become a U.S. citizen, you can apply for naturalization (naturalization) after five years of green card holdings, or naturalization after three years of marriage to a U.S. citizen. ”

"Oh, I see." An Feng made a big red face, and he still thought that after the investment immigration was over, it would be equivalent to joining the United States.

After saying goodbye to his agent, he is currently located in San Luis Obispo County, San Luis Obispo County, Niang Luo, fortunately it has an abbreviation: SLO.

Seeing that it was getting late, An Feng stayed at a local hotel for one night. Early the next morning, he took the business card given by his agent and called the local car dealership.

There is a disadvantage in the United States, it is difficult to go out without a car, he has to buy a car. But SLO doesn't have too many dealers in the local area, and his sports car dreams can only be put on hold for the time being. After making an appointment, he approached a local car dealership that deals in pickup trucks and SUVs and saw what models they were selling.

At a glance, it was all pickup trucks, Ford's F series, Chevrolet's Silverado, etc., he watched them one by one, and after the salesperson learned that he operated the vineyard, he recommended: "Sir, the work of the vineyard is mostly based on pickup trucks, you can take a look at these models, F-150, F-250, popular color paints!" ”

Influenced by China, An Feng chose a black domineering F-150 and put forward a request for a test drive. Accompanied by the salesman, I drove the car around the perimeter, and also specially tested the road surface, it felt good, with a displacement of 6.2 liters, more than 400 horsepower is enough to cope with the dirt road.

The last surprise is the price, this top-of-the-line F-150 sells for more than 50,000 US dollars, plus taxes, insurance and other expenses are only more than 60,000 points, equivalent to less than 400,000 yuan, and the domestic car is at least more than 700,000 yuan. Driving it, there was a little excitement to take advantage of.
