Section 8: Returning home
Carl organized a team of investment advisors and negotiators to evaluate Garrison Investments' real estate in California. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe price of land in California is already high, not to mention high-quality land, a total of 32,500 acres of land, 17 luxury ranch villas and supporting facilities, supporting more than a dozen ranch mansions and 27 European-style farm houses, and other supporting facilities, although the quotation is 900 million US dollars, it is still worth 800 million US dollars.
Ye Mu has 560 million in cash, and the cash that can be used is up to 420 million. This is the maximum investment limit that Carl Investment Consultant gave Ye Mu in total, and reasonable tax avoidance does not mean that there is no need to pay taxes, but within the scope of reasonable investment and expenses, the tax bureau will give a certain limit of tax deductions. In other words, in addition to the unexpected income tax of more than 100 million US dollars paid before, in January of the following year, Ye Mu will have to take out at least 1400 million US dollars in cash and hand it over to the tax bureau.
With 420 million in cash, not only is the Garrison Group willing to give Ye Mu a loan, but ******** banks are also willing to give Ye Mu a loan, allowing Ye Mu to buy a large piece of land in California.
Santa Barbara County.
The sunshine, the wind, the wind mixed with a faint smell of sea. On the white sand, a few crooked-necked coconut trees, a few beach chairs......
Zhang Dongsheng took the beer with ice, walked over, handed it to Ye Mu, and said, "Why do you have to be in California?" I think Montana is also good, the environment is good, and the important thing is that the land is big. ”
"It's too remote." After living in the United States for a long time, I habitually have this image of Montana: 'The fourth largest state in the United States, there are more bears than people, more animals than plants, and more perverted murderers. Because of its remoteness, people will always impose bad things on it. Ye Mu went to Montana once, lived there for more than ten days, and felt good, there were few blacks and Mexicans, and the locals were friendly. Watching the news, there is not much chaos.
Carl raised his wine glass, touched it with Ye Mu, and said, "Ye, tell a story that you may not like to hear." Garrison Investment Group is an out-and-out robber, they like to lend when you have money and ask you to repay when you are short of money. They were able to acquire large tracts of land in California, which had nothing to do with the 2009 California disaster. At that time, the bank owned by Garrison Investment Group offered to lend money to local farmers, and when they could not come up with the money to repay the loan, they asked them to mortgage the land......
"Don't all of your U.S. banks operate in the same way?" Ye Mu smiled and asked.
"It's basically similar, but we at Chase aren't as ruthless as they are." Carl smiled awkwardly and continued, "In terms of investment potential, Montana is the land of the American sky, with a lot of restricted land. It is a harbinger that it may be the gathering place of American wealth in the future...... Right now, a lot of wealthy people have bought land in Montana. ”
"Oh?" Ye Mu frowned.
"The U.S. population is growing explodingly, but it's unlikely to be similar to countries like China and India. And, Americans love farm life and the fresh air of the country. Therefore, the price of land in California is terrifying enough, and it is very difficult to appreciate it. It's better to buy a large piece of land in Montana, which is still a low-tax state, and the land tax, real estate tax, and personal income tax are all much lower than California. ”
Americans often talk wistfully about how they love rural life and the fresh air in the countryside, but it's one thing to love it, and more people prefer to live in the city. Rich and wealthy people live in the countryside and also on the outskirts of the city, very close to the city.
Ye Mu looked at Carl with a look of disdain: "Flicker, continue to flicker!" ”
"Hehe, well, let's be honest. I'm going to Montana soon, for my own business. The land of the long sky indicates many opportunities. ”
Ye Mu is a paranoid obsessive-compulsive and perfectionist.
Thinking about Garrison Investments' real estate, he also misses Webb Farms. Although he did not agree with Carl's investment theory, he was already biased towards Weber Farm.
For example, his character, within the scope of his ability, wants the best.
Over the next few days, the Carl Investment Advisory and negotiation teams abandoned negotiations with Garrison Investment and turned to Montana.
Ye Mu and Zhang Dongsheng continued to stay in California, bought some gifts for relatives and friends, and then disposed of the car, that is, pulled it to the second-hand car recycling station, a domestic raptor of hundreds of thousands of 150, and the second-hand car that Ye Mu bought only cost 16,000 yuan. Now it's a third-hand car, except for the air conditioner, the rest of the maintenance is not bad, and it was sold for 5,300 yuan.
Los Angeles to Beijing and then to Chengdu.
Ye Mu is single, and Zhang Dongsheng has a foreign girl Anna by his side, which has attracted a lot of attention.
"Honey, are we sure that in China and not in Japan?" Shuangliu International Airport to Rongcheng, not a long way to walk for nearly two hours, mainly traffic jams. Along the way, the vehicles are solitaire, dense and there is no end in sight. Especially in the Tianfu Avenue business district, the high-rise buildings on both sides are endless, and the prosperity is better than that of Hollywood in Los Angeles.
Anna is a silly white sweet who only pays attention to fashion, and the American newspapers' intentional or unintentional rendering of China makes her instinctively think that China is still the China of twenty years ago. Suddenly, when I saw the prosperous scene of Chengdu, I was stunned when I thought of the backward China in my mind.
"It's terrible to have no culture, I recommend you to watch a documentary, the rise of a great power." Anna's performance made Zhang Dongsheng feel comfortable, kissed her on the face, and said.
The two of them showed their affection unscrupulously, which made Ye Mu very hurt: "Hey, pay attention to the impact." ”
"Envy and jealousy, you can find one too." Zhang Dongsheng ignored Ye Mu's resentful gaze and said.
While talking, they got off the train at the high-speed rail station, bought tickets and boarded the train, and returned to their hometown, Qiongshan City, in twenty minutes.
After getting out of the car, the sweltering heat made people very uncomfortable, Zhang Dongsheng wiped his sweat and pulled Ye Mu and said, "I want to buy a car for the old man." Accompany me to the car center......"
"Tomorrow! I'm sleepy. ”
"The old man has always said that I have no interest in the United States with you, since you have money, why not pretend to be forced, I will buy the old man a Range Rover, and see if he still talks about me." Zhang Dongsheng pulled Ye Mu to sit on the taxi and said, "Land Rover 4S store." ”
Ye Mu bought a house in the city a few years ago, not far from the station, and when the taxi drove through the community, Ye Mu also saw his father playing chess with a few people.
In about ten minutes, the taxi arrived at the Motor City, and Ye Mu and Zhang Dongsheng walked into the Land Rover 4S store.
