Chapter 24 Buying a car is refreshing
Because of the technical terms used in many documents, Gao Xi couldn't understand it at all, and he didn't dare to sign it indiscriminately, so he called Dong Chen and asked Dong Chen to rush directly to Bozeman, Montana, where the ranch was near the city, and it would only take more than half an hour to drive.
James originally suggested that Gaucy simply find a law firm at Bozeman to solve the matter directly, but with Gaucy's caution and picking, he was obviously reluctant to do so, and it felt really unreliable to hand over what he didn't understand to a foreigner he didn't know.
Besides, these lawyers are all vampires of his mother, and they charge more than $1,000 an hour.
Combined with various reasons, Gao Xi finally chose to let Dong Chen fly over directly, anyway, it won't be long, and the other party has to prepare a lawyer and a lot of documents, so there is no hurry.
It was a very comfortable night in Bozeman City, anyway, the temperature here made Gaucy feel very comfortable, even though it was almost July, but there was no feeling of heat at all, it was cool and suitable, it was a paradise on earth for people like him who were afraid of heat.
After Dong Chen got off the plane at Bozeman Airport, Gao Xi took him to the place where the contract was signed, but the car was still rented.
Gao Xi is going to buy a car after the ranch is done, but whether to buy an off-road or a pickup truck will be talked about later, or just buy one, anyway, now there is money, and American cars are very cheap.
After arriving at the place of the transaction, Dong Chen read every clause of the contract in detail, and then discussed with James, arguing with the other party with a red face, and finally modified about four or five clauses that were unfavorable to Gao Xi, although it seemed to be just a little problem, but if a layman like Gao Xi looked at it, it was completely impossible to find it.
Gao Xi was glad for his wisdom, thanks to the fact that he didn't go to the lawyer at the law firm yesterday, he didn't believe that those people would find out such a small problem, at most, let Gao Xi not suffer a big loss.
He doesn't know Americans, but he understands people.
In the end, the contract was signed when both parties were satisfied, and then one party handed over the ownership of the Yellowstone Ranch and the other handed over a check for $50 million.
Fifty million US dollars, Gao Xi feels that his money is easy to come by, and it is going quickly, and he hasn't done anything yet, nearly half of it is gone. But if you think about it carefully, more than 70,000 acres of land belong to him, and it feels quite cool.
My buddy is now a landlord, and there are mountains, rivers, lakes, and rivers in this land, and the Yellowstone River passes by, and this environment is simply beautiful.
About the name of the ranch Gao Xi has not changed for the time being, he thinks the name of Yellowstone Ranch is good, it was originally intended to be called Elf Ranch, but he felt that it was too middle two, so he gave up, anyway, this Yellowstone Ranch sounds atmospheric, nearby is the Yellowstone River, and there is Yellowstone National Park not far away, which is also quite famous.
The rest of the things, Gao Xi couldn't mix, so he simply handed them all over to Dong Chen to deal with, for Dong Chen, he was a hundred at ease. As for James, since the deal for the ranch has been confirmed, he has to go back to work next, and he can't stay with Gaucy all day like taking care of a child.
It's an eagle, and it always has to fly on its own! This is also the first step to growth, if you rely on others for everything, then what kind of ranch do you have, it is better to go home and continue to be a sheep herding baby.
So after thinking about it, Gao Xi made a decision, which was to buy a car! It's really inconvenient to have no car, after all, the ranch is still far away from the nearest Bozeman City, so how can you ride a horse back and forth without a car?
As for what car to buy, he basically had a plan in mind, so he drove the leased Ford off-road to the car sales center in Bozeman alone.
Well, speaking of Bozeman, this place is actually not small, but there are few people.
Bozeman is a city in southwestern Montana, founded by gold diggers in the mid-19th century. The Gallatin county system, bordered by Idaho to the southwest and Wyoming to the southeast, was incorporated into the county in Montana, making the city a gateway airport to Yellowstone.
It sounds very bullish, but in fact it is just a county, and if you let Gao Xi evaluate it, this Bozeman population is quite large among the counties in the United States, because there is an airport here, which makes the permanent population of Bozeman reach about 20,000.
Well, you heard it right, it's twenty thousand, not two hundred thousand.
Is this a county? The population of this place is not as large as the population of a township in Gaoxi's hometown, and Gaoxi's hometown, the county seat, may be regarded as a ninth-tier city in China, with a population of 200,000 in the city alone, and the population of the county has reached more than 800,000.
That's why he came to the United States, there are too many Chinese, so crowded, giving people limited living space, and running ranches?
Not to mention the big ranch!
Of course, because every state in the United States has its own laws, this damn law caused Gaucy to have to change his New York driver's license to a Montana driver's license when driving, which he had done before he rented the car, and this was reminded by James, otherwise how would he know about it as an outsider.
How good is China's driver's license, not only in the country, but even in the United States, as long as it is changed to the English version, it can also be used in many states, such as Montana.
The scale of Bozeman is not very large, so like looking for a car sales center, it is very easy, as long as you are not a road idiot, just ask passers-by, the people here are still very enthusiastic, the key is that Gao Xi's English level is not too bad, others can understand, otherwise even if you say it, it is useless.
Gao Xi directly entered a Ford pickup truck sales center, which sells all of Ford's pickup series of cars, he checked on the Internet, the current sales champion of American cars is the Ford F series pickup, it is estimated that this car must have its unique benefits. If you don't know how to drive, then you naturally have to follow the general trend, even if you change it later.
"Hello sir, what kind of car do you need?"
As soon as I arrived at the door, a girl dressed very well, like a western cowgirl, walked out and asked politely.
Gao Xi is not sure about the age of this girl, because he is a mess in terms of age judgment, and he can't even judge the age of Chinese, let alone Americans, but it is estimated that he is in his twenties, and he looks very young and energetic.
Uh-huh, especially the tight hips and firm breasts, I guess it's no problem to be a model.
Of course, although the beauty is good, what attracts Gao Xi more is the domineering model cars parked inside and outside the store.
He didn't dare to look at these luxury cars before, because he didn't have the money to buy them, and he didn't feel comfortable looking at them in vain.
"Shall I take a look first?"
"Of course, but sir, I can show you how much car you need."
"The price?"
"What's your most expensive car here?" Gao Xi now also has the psychology of an upstart, now that he has money, he can buy the best one if he wants to, he doesn't want to settle.
As soon as he heard this, the manager who was sitting in the office drinking tea hurriedly walked out, this manager is also a woman, but she should be in her thirties and almost forty years old.
"Sir, the most expensive thing we have here at the moment should be the F650 of the Ford series, because the 750 has not yet rolled off the assembly line, and this is the most expensive now. By the way, sir, what do you do?" The female manager was still more responsible, and did not say that Gao Xi wanted to buy the most expensive car and recommended it directly to death, but asked Gao Xi's job to see if it was suitable.
