Chapter 099: Arrival
Shi Hu is accustomed to talking about business before eating and drinking, and he has to be sober-minded in business, not only responsible for himself, but also for others. Of course, his trust in Liu Cai is very high, and the testimony of friendship for so many years has helped his buddies, and at the same time he is also seeking development for his family.
That's why he brought Nana to make her aware of their cooperation. Because Shi Hu intends to put all the shares of these industries in the name of his family - Tiger Stone wants to invest in China, which is more troublesome. In general, he wasn't interested in the business if it wasn't big enough.
Millions of dollars is just the money he won in a poker game, and it is normal to look at it lightly. In the later dealings with Liu Cai's other friends, this calmness has become a symbol of confidence and strength. The people in the yamen and in the business field all met each other and knew each other well.
In the end, Shi Hu contributed 40%, Liu Cai 35%, friends 15%, and the rest was a dry stock relationship.
With the arrival of the funds, the action was immediately launched, and the location was selected in the downtown business district, located on the third or fourth floors of a commercial building, and the flow of people was dense enough, if the service was good, the business would definitely be booming, and this line of work is now popular all over the country.
Shi Hu himself doesn't care about anything, he needs Liu Cai to take care of it, and he invited them to go abroad when he was done.
Liu Cai promised: "I have seen the beautiful photos you sent, and after this busy time, I will run to meet the world." β
"Waiting for you both." Shi Hu said to them.
β¦β¦
I didn't stay long on this trip home.
They have to go to the consulate for an interview on the day of the appointment, although the number of Chinese outbound tourists has already exceeded the 30 million mark (in 2005), but after all, it is not a developed country, and other developed countries still have a lot of concerns about tourists. Therefore, there will be rejection of the interview.
Shi Hu reassured them: "Don't worry, it won't work this time, it's a big deal next time." Your materials are strong, just answer them honestly. β
Shi Yuanchao said: "It's not uncommon for the American emperor to be wonderful, but I just watched Nana go for the first time, and I didn't feel at ease, and when I became proficient in the future, it was still my kennel comfort." β
The mother also agreed: "That's the truth, it's all for the children." β
Passports are also a reflection of national influence, such as the United States, most countries in the world are visa-free, and you can go abroad with your passport and air tickets...... It was finally their turn, and Shi Hu made them confident and dealt with it calmly.
After a while, Nana trotted out: "It's all passed!" β
"It's not very difficult to say earlier, it's normal." Shi Hu high-fived her.
β¦β¦
Two days later, they received their passports with a sticker.
Then boarded the plane to Los Angeles, the usual first class start, flying for more than ten hours, sorry for yourself if you are uncomfortable, delicious food and drink, this is happy...... As for the parents, it's the same, they say don't always spend money indiscriminately, but their hearts are happy, who doesn't want to be happy?
A dozen hours later the plane landed at LAX airport, a long journey, but still in good spirits.
In the taxi, the family members all looked out the window, especially the parents, whose birth years determined their consciousness, and shouted "Down with the US imperialists, down with Su Xiu" for a lifetime, Su Xiu is down, the US imperialism is fine, after opening up the country, all kinds of novelties and cultures are also surging, and it is inevitable to be curious.
The taxi passed through the wealthy area of Beverly Hills, and then ran up the hill, where a series of mansions of different styles brushed the eyeballs one after another, and finally stopped at the top of the hill, in front of the house with the best location and the most beautiful view. Get out of the car and enter the house, it is clean, spacious and bright, attracting praise again and again.
Shi Hu sat down on the sofa: "Choose the room as you like." β
Their novelty for the big house, occupied for a while. The house is beautiful, the view from the yard is also excellent, there is no winter in Los Angeles, the day is still 20 degrees, sit down to bask in the sun, lean on the fence and look out from the railing, the bustling downtown is in full view, very enjoyable.
In the end, when they were hungry, Shi Hu gave them cooking.
The open kitchen is also Western food, Shi Hu has recently learned a few hands, the reason is simple and convenient, if you are not picky about the taste, you can get it in a few minutes, and it is not easy to starve to death. The whole family sits at the table and discusses new places, culture, architecture, food and so on.
My mother cares about the house: "How much does it cost to build such a big house?" β
Shi Hu dealt casually: "It's not much, pay it off in a lump sum, and there is no pressure to repay." β
Nana raised her head: "I've seen it on the Internet, Beverly Hills is a top rich area, with tens of millions of houses, and the location here is top-notch, only a lot more." β
"How much?" Shi Yuanchao also had doubts.
"Tens of millions, doesn't Nana know." Shi Hu didn't say much, he was afraid of being said to spend money indiscriminately.
"Dollars." Nana betrays him.
"Dollars?" The family was surprised, converted to a house that cost hundreds of millions?
Shi Hu explained the past in a few words: "Where you live, if you like it, if you don't like it, you won't lose money if you sell it." The real estate in the United States is different from China, it has no property rights, mainly because the location is good, and if you decorate it, you may be able to make money if you sell it! β
With this explanation, the second elder lost the meaning of educating him. Although he is rich now, after all, he is diligent and thrifty, and Shi Hu's exaggerated and extravagant style would have been criticized if it had been put back then...... Shi Hu said poorly: "If it had been earlier, I would have been beaten as a local tyrant!" β
"Fight the local tyrants!" Nana put her arms around his neck from behind and laughed, shaking him: "Brother take me out to play!" β
"Aren't you tired?" Shi Hu asked her.
"Not tired! I slept enough on the plane. Nana begged: "Take me out, let me take a few photos and envy my classmates and friends." β
"You two?" Shi Hu looked at his parents.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, now we always feel like it's time to rest at night." Shi Yuanchao said that people are different when they are old, and they do not have the vigorous energy of young people.
"Go back to your room and have a good rest and adjust to the jet lag." Shi Hu threw a mobile phone to them, "It has my number stored in it, call me if you have any questions." β
"As for meβ" Shi Hu stood up and stretched out his hand to her, "Take your sister and go to Hi!" β
β¦β¦
"What a short car!" Nana looked at the Ferrari in front of her.
"Of course the sports car is short." Shi Hu opened the passenger door and let her sit in, "Pay attention to the seat belt, Americans love to be exquisite." β
After Shi Hu sat down, he asked, "What do you want to do first?" β
"Whatever you want." Nana said, "It's all happiness to go out and play with my brother." β
"The mouth is really pleasing to people." Shi Hu glanced at her a few times: "I'll take a look...... Let's change your style, are you interested in European and American trends? β
"European and American style? All right! "She was satisfied.
As the second largest city in the United States, Los Angeles is a perfect shopping paradise, with the famous Rodeo Drive, located in Beverly Hills, home to some of the world's top luxury brands.
A wealthy man like Shi Hu who drives a sports car and swaggers through the city is also a scenic line of Rodeo Avenue. Shi Hu parked the car in front of the GI store, got out of the car and pulled Nana in to shop. There is a difference between European and American fashion and Japan and South Korea, and the former is obviously more flamboyant and enthusiastic.
The shopping guide who will Chinese is very enthusiastic to help open the door, and every holiday, the Chinese has gradually become the main force of consumption, and the shrewd merchants will certainly not miss the business opportunity. The shopping guide with vicious eyesight praised: "Miss is a standard No. 4 figure, and there is no difficulty in matching." β
The slender Nana can indeed wear the No. 4 clothing that requires a tall figure, and under the recommendation of the shopping guide and Shi Hu's reference, she went to the fitting room and came out to change: a bright striped shirt, rolled up sleeves and a little lean; wear worn-out ripped jeans underneath, and roll up the trouser legs that hipsters must; Pair yours with lightweight espadrilles...... Shi Hu looked at it appreciatively, and took her another round-brimmed hat.
"It's a good fit!" Shi Hu put it on her, her legs are long and her figure is obvious, if she is the kind of slightly curly long hair that is popular among foreign girls, it will be more beautiful.
"You can also wear it with a simple shoulder bag." Miss shopping guide suggested.
"Yes!" Shi Hu agreed, pulled her to choose, and let her carry it on one shoulder, Nana also looked confidently in the mirror, very American trend.
"Great!" Shi Hu was satisfied, "The main thing is that people are beautiful!" β
"Hee-hee." She smiled and pulled him aside: "Brother, I've worn enough, let's take a photo and slip away!" β
"Haha, cunning girl." Shi Hu laughed, "Don't worry, it's no problem for your brother to buy all the clothes on the street." β
Nana is quite sensible, seeing that these clothes and bags are thousands of dollars, I feel that I don't spend so much money, and I have a ghost idea when my brain turns. But don't listen to this sentence, look at the formation in front, it really means that the girl buys it in minutes, and she has confidence.
Shi Hu made her confidence a reality: "Wrap it up, and then look at something else." β
She was surprised: "You've got off to a bad start!" β
Shi Hu to understand: "There is no bottom line for women to go shopping? β
"Regret it!" Nana touches him.
"Come casually, it's hard to accompany you, and you have to be responsible for being a brother." Shi Hu motioned for her to continue.
After shopping this to the next one, clothing, bags, and even cosmetics and jewelry are involved. After a big circle, the wallet really can't stand it without a little strength...... However, Shi Hu uses a credit card, and the platinum card has discounts with some special merchants, so it is easy to stop consuming.
