Xiao Yifei called back to the winery early in the morning to learn about the progress of the work of the winery, and felt that it was not bad now, and all the work was progressing steadily. I contacted France again, and the Paris Tong Pavilion finally passed the approval of the 8th arrondissement, and is reporting to the Paris City Government, waiting for the approval there before the construction can begin. Contacting Wang, who helped design the resort, he said it would take a few days to finalize it.

After contacting him, Xiao Yifei found that he didn't seem to have much to do now. A news in the newspaper aroused his interest, that James Cameron's three-year, 300 million to build movie "Avatar" will hold a premiere ceremony at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood on the evening of the 16th.

The report did not say anything specific, that is, a preview was held in London just 10, and Cameron personally came to explain the film, and according to the audience's response, it seemed to be warming up for the film. After all, it premiered on Wednesday night, and it will be released on Friday, and the publicity work should heat up.

Xiao Yifei and Jesse, who was far away in Berkeley, had nothing to do after the incident, and learned the last basic class of Egyptian through the computer. According to Jesse, according to Xiao Yifei's request, he doesn't have to learn the rest of the content, just look up the dictionary by himself.

Seeing that victory was in sight and that he would soon be able to translate the "Idol Manual", Xiao Yifei spent a night reviewing the content of this lesson, took out the Cinderella fairy tale book, and began to translate it.

At the end of the house inspection on the 34th, both parties can sign a contract to pay. After Xiao Yifei signed a check and contract, Grace and Walter were responsible for handling the follow-up paperwork, and Xiao Yifei could move in tomorrow.

Subsequently. Something happened that surprised Xiao Yifei. That Mauricio actually informed him that the 40th could also be signed. Xiao Yifei was dumbfounded when he heard the news.

That day, Jeff, the owner of the No. 40 French palace, couldn't make sense of Xiao Yifei's price increase, and he was angry. But as the time gets closer and closer to the settlement period at the end of the year, his debt pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and now Xiao Yifei is the highest bidder, and other inquiring people have either given up their plans to buy a house. Either you are only willing to pay 25 million, and you have to take a mortgage, and you have to be delayed by the bank. Of course, Jeff can also choose not to sell, but as soon as the debt is due and the hole is not filled, the bank will take back the house and go through the legal auction process. However, this legal procedure takes a long time, secondly, the auction price is definitely not as high as the one you sell, and thirdly, it is a great harm to your credit rating. Thinking about it, Jeff gritted his teeth. Then sell to the highest.

But the next day, he received the news that Xiao Yifei had bought No. 34. He was depressed again, Mauricio was also under a lot of pressure, and Jeff offered an 8% brokerage fee in order to get rid of it as soon as possible, and even if he was square with the buyer's intermediary after selling, he could get a million-dollar brokerage fee. So he also accompanies Jeff to figure out a way.

Suddenly, Jeff discovered a loophole in Xiao Yifei's place.

A buyer can view several homes at the same time and quote several units at the same time. If one is selected, a note will be sent to the agent of the other property to terminate the offer. It means that I have already bought a house, and we will withdraw from the competition with your set.

Of course. This is just a theory, and in practice, it's okay not to do it. After all, it has not entered the substantive negotiation stage, and the deposit has not been paid, so of course it does not matter. Even if the deposit is paid, the buyer can terminate the negotiation at any time and get the deposit back. Therefore, everyone generally bothers to post this termination offer description.

Jeff found that Xiao Yifei did not have this termination statement here, which is actually equivalent to Xiao Yifei not saying that he would not buy it. So he directly sent a notice to Xiao Yifei, who was 1 million higher than the second offer and still cash, saying that he could sign the contract.

Xiao Yifei got the news that he was going to sell it to him on the 40th, and hurriedly called Concubine Yue in New York. After Concubine Yue's explanation, Xiao Yifei understood:

"I see what you mean, so I'll just ignore them."

"As a courtesy, you just tell them you're not going to buy it. If you don't feel at ease, ask your lawyer. ”

It just so happened that he also had something to ask Ryan, who was far away in New York, so he made a phone call:

"Ryan, what's going on with Sherman's agreement?"

"I looked at the original and got a new copy, and you can sell the stock at any time after you get it, without any legal obstacles."

"Okay, when are you coming over?"

"The contract has just been drafted, and their law firm has to sign and seal it first, and then Andrew and I will come to New York together, and they will bring back a copy after you sign it."

"Okay, I'll ask you something."

Xiao Yifei talked about his own affairs, and Ryan thought about it:

"In principle, you can ignore them, and politely you can reply. But I thought about it for a moment, and I thought you'd better buy it. ”

Xiao Yifei was strange, if Concubine Yue persuaded him to buy it, she said that she coveted the commission, and Ryan did not take the commission.

"Why?"

"Because of the taxes. Have you ever thought about it, and we're starting to figure out what the difference is between when you pay very little tax and where you are now? ”

Xiao Yifei thought for a while:

"Oh, it's making money by flipping gold."

"Yes, especially since your money is in your own name, not in the name of the company."

Xiao Yifei knew what he meant, and he could only spend it tax-free. In addition, he has to pay capital gains tax in his personal name, and his profits this time are not held for more than 1 year, so the tax rate is higher, reaching 35%. Gold 50 million principal, 60 million profits, the principal part I don't know how the accountant calculates, the profits here are taxed, he actually only has more than half left, it is really better to spend it.

Xiao Yifei once again calculated the possible expenditure, the vineyard can no longer be expanded, no matter how big it is, it will be blindly expanded. Gold can't be bought now because it can't see the market outlook, and the stock has 400 million and a half, and it can't be added any more. Spending in other areas simply cannot erase the more than 100 million.

Bought No. 40, although it must be empty when I live alone now, but when I am older, I marry a wife and have a baby, plus my parents, and a family lives in this palace together, it will not look empty. In the past few years, it can be rented first, since Wannabai's No. 75 can have a rent of 200,000 per month, and his French palace No. 40 is much better than No. 75 in all aspects, if it is only 200,000, then you can definitely find a tenant. That's a little money of one or two million a year.

Xiao Yifei picked up the phone and called Concubine Yue:

"I want to buy the 40th, what now?"

This kind of intermediary contract, the validity period is generally one month, that is, within one month, to buy or sell a property, you must find a contracted intermediary, only after the intermediary obviously violates the rules or reaches a termination agreement can change the intermediary.

Concubine Yue was also embarrassed, the cooperation with Sosby here was at a critical time, but she was reluctant to pay a generous commission. Judging from the negotiations with Sosby, their ambitions are greater than those of Xiao Yifei and Concubine Yue, so she needs more funds to occupy her due shares.

"You wait, I'll think of a way first, and I'll contact you later."

After a while, Concubine Yue called:

"I'll entrust Grace to handle the matter for me, and he'll contact you right away."

"Sister Yue, you definitely don't give people commissions."

"Where, I want to divide it, but the intermediary company needs money very much, so I told him to borrow it first, and then slowly repay him later."

"I'm dizzy, you don't give a penny to anyone now. Sister Yue, it's not right to bully honest people. ”

"Where, there is really a need for money here, according to the scale that Sosby said, I estimate that it will take 3 or 4 million to take my share, and you probably want this number too."

"You're a profiteer anyway."

"Brother Xiao, you're not bad, you can buy a house of 50 million for 26 million."

Uh, how did you trap yourself inside?

Jeff, the seller of No. 40, urged very tightly, and the steps such as deposit and house inspection were carried out quickly. In fact, the house inspection on the 40th is the easiest, the house has only been built for more than a year, and it is still within the builder's insurance period, and the builder must be responsible for any problems.

These things are none of Xiao Yifei's business, he has only translated "Cinderella" halfway, and the procedures for the two suites have been completed, and he can move again.

Grace is really an honest man:

"Mr. Xiao, you don't have to hand over the rental of No. 40 to me, I can't find such a high-end customer."

Xiao Yifei smiled:

"I know, I'll move tomorrow, and you'll be in charge of this 704 thing."

"That's fine. I've found a tenant over there at 626, a single actor, who seems to have acted in some TV series. ”

"Okay, I'll sign the contract when it's decided."

Xiao Yifei is moving again. Originally, he planned to wait for the negotiation to end this time and invite the negotiation team to hold a warm house party with the neighbors of 704, but it turned out that he had already decided to buy a house in Beverly Park, so he canceled this plan.

Grace came with the tenant of 626, and Xiao Yifei found that he did not know this bachelor, who was almost 40 years old, and had not heard his name. Although this person said the names of several TV series, it is a pity that Xiao Yifei has not heard of it. And the TV series he acted in were mainly NBC. Since he was the opponent's person, Xiao Yifei didn't plan to give him a favor, and with the assistance of Grace, the two parties signed a rental contract.

In the evening, Xiao Yifei worked overtime to finish translating "Cinderella", and read the content he translated, and there were still some problems in the first few pages, and he would be able to understand it later. However, Xiao Yifei still didn't feel safe, and he was going to translate the instructions for using the Osiris space translated by the Louis Latour family again to see how accurate his accuracy was. (To be continued......)

ps: The reason for buying No. 40 in this chapter is a bit far-fetched and can't stand scrutiny, mainly because I used him to attract tenants, so I bought it.
