The time consumed by this trip to Italy was really a bit unexpected by Jin Muchen.

originally thought that it should be something that could be done quite simply, but in the end, it was delayed for more than a month.

After returning home, Uncle Fang also asked what was going on, and Jin Muchen could only find a few lame excuses to fool around.

Candace was very upset with him, who went to Europe this time and couldn't accompany her for the Christmas holiday.

Fortunately, when he returned, Di Maggio gave him a lot of jewels that had been 'seized' from the Sabastano family, which made Candace shut up.

After a night of 'long talks' with Candace, coupled with countless sweet words, Candace was finally coaxed to be happy again.

At this time, it was already mid-to-late January, and this year's Spring Festival was relatively late, waiting until the beginning of February, so Jin Muchen was quite fortunate that he was able to come back for the Spring Festival.

In fact, celebrating Christmas and celebrating New Year's Day on the Gregorian calendar is also a local custom, after all, these two festivals are very important to Westerners, but in the hearts of Jin Muchen, a native Chinese, the Spring Festival is more important.

And don't look at Fang Bo, who has been in the United States for more than 20 years, but he still hasn't forgotten the important festival of the Spring Festival.

During this time, there happened to be no business in the store, so Candace went to school during the day, while Jin Muchen and Fang Bo fished for three days and dried nets for two days.

Usually, as long as the business is not too busy, the two simply close their doors. Buy directly from Flushing. Prepare for the New Year's goods.

Although there is also a Chinatown on this side of Manhattan. And it also retains the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival, but most of the Chinese supermarkets in Chinatown here are mainly in Nanyang style, after all, most of the people living in this Chinatown are old immigrants who crossed the ocean from Xiangjiang, eastern Guangdong or Southeast Asia in the early years.

Therefore, the things sold in those supermarkets are more preferred in the eastern part of Guangdong.

If the Chinese flavor is stronger, the things are more complete. Then you can only go to the Asian supermarket in Flushing to buy it.

These days, Jin Muchen drove Candace to school every morning, and when he came back, he drove the F150 and took Fang Bo to Flushing to purchase and prepare for the New Year.

I've also contacted my parents before, because I went back in the middle of this year, so I don't want to toss during the Spring Festival, he wants his parents to come to New York for the Spring Festival.

But my father's work has been very busy, and the more he reaches the end of the year, the more he socializes, so his parents have not been able to determine it yet. In the end, do you want to come here for the Spring Festival.

But whether they come or not, things still have to be ready.

Not to mention. Driving this F150 can really pull a lot of things, and now Jin Muchen is not short of money in his hands, so he is even more generous when he buys things.

A trip to Flushing often costs hundreds of dollars to buy things, but don't underestimate the purchasing power of these hundreds of dollars, which is completely different from the purchasing power of China's RMB 100.

For example, a box of canned dace with tempeh costs more than two yuan at best in Asian supermarkets in the United States, but in domestic supermarkets, it costs more than a dozen yuan.

Therefore, if you earn dollars and spend dollars, this money is at least forbidden to be spent in terms of buying daily necessities.

A few hundred dollars of living supplies, that can definitely be regarded as a big purchase, I bought thousands of yuan of things in a few days, even Uncle Fang said that it was a waste when he saw it, and told him that these things, let alone the New Year, I am afraid that they can be eaten directly until the middle of the year.

But Jin Muchen didn't care at all, he used to spend the Spring Festival in the United States when he was in school, and at that time he wanted to save money for air tickets and earn some living expenses from his part-time job, so he didn't go back for the Spring Festival.

Because he is not a local tyrant, he can't spend money without blinking, even if he spends some money on New Year's goods at that time, he will be picked and searched, and what he buys, he has to look at the price and calculate the account before buying.

Now that there is so much money in his pocket, if he still picks and searches, it is better to buy a piece of tofu and die head-on.

That's what is it to buy some food and drink, Jin Muchen said in his heart, you just wait for the next year.

Because of the shortage of parking spaces, he has not been buying a new car, and as a man, how many people don't like cars?

This F150 may be very majestic in China, but in the United States, this is a farmer's car.

And he always drove such a large-displacement pickup truck, walking around the city, it didn't seem like that, he had long wanted to sell a few cars, especially to buy another one for Candace.

However, before buying a car, the first thing to solve is the problem of parking.

Parking in Manhattan has always been a big problem, there are many people and few places, so the parking space here has always been very tight, even if you park in front of your house during the day, you have to put coins in the timer, or you have to eat a ticket.

So before buying a car, of course, you have to consider the issue of parking spaces.

Behind Jin Muchen's house, across a back alley from his house, there is just an old factory building on vacant land, the height of this house is higher than Jin Muchen's current house, equivalent to a six-story building, which used to be a wood processing factory and furniture factory.

But as early as the end of the seventies of the last century, it was discontinued, and later someone rented a car repair shop that had been open for a while, but because of poor management, it finally closed down.

Since then, I have been free there, because the house is not facing the street, so not many business people are interested in this house.

There was once a real estate developer who wanted to take down this house, but considering that this house was too close to Jin Muchen's house in front of him, if it was taken and converted into an apartment, lighting would be a big problem, so it could not be formed.

In the end, because of various problems of one kind or another, this house has been empty until now, which is rare in the SOHO district, where every inch of land is at a premium.

Jin Muchen has been paying attention to this house for a long time, and he has also asked a real estate agent before, and this house now belongs to a family called Davis.

The family had previously made woodwork and furniture, and at one point there were several New York City councilors.

But now the family has long since declined, and the property rights to this house are now in the hands of several descendants of the family.

At that time, Jin Muchen wanted to buy this house, but he had been suffering from lack of funds, and the demand for the house at that time was so urgent, so he just thought about it.

Now that he has the money, he certainly doesn't plan to let the house go.

So before the Spring Festival, the agent of a shell company registered in the Virgin Islands found a real estate agent and gave him the task of taking the house in the shortest possible time.

After all, this house, the owner brothers, have wanted to sell it for a long time, but unfortunately because of the location and price, they have not been able to sell.

Now that someone wants to buy it, it's not easy?

So just a few days before the Spring Festival, Jin Muchen received an offer from the owner of the house for 15 million US dollars.

To be honest, if the house is calculated according to the flat bottom area, it is larger than his set, and the plane area of his house is only more than 200 square meters, and the plane area of the house is more than 400 square meters, and the floor height is also two floors higher than his.

It's just because of the damn location that this house has never been bought.

You must know that the location of this house is really a little embarrassing, surrounded in the middle of several sets of street buildings, although the floor is a little higher, but the lighting conditions, it is too poor, which is the main reason why this house has not been sold at a high price.

The owners wanted to sell the house when the SOHO district was rising a few years ago, and they were arrogant at the time, and the asking price was not low, and they had offered a high price of $20 million for the house.

But the real market has given them a hard blow, your house, not in front of the village, not in the back of the store, that is, not facing the street, can not be developed into a commercial building, the lighting is poor, and can not be developed into a building residence, how can a fool be willing to spend 20 million to buy this house?

So this time, when the brothers heard that someone wanted to buy this suite, they were overjoyed, and finally the brothers discussed it together for several days before they gave this offer tremblingly, and they were afraid that because the price was too high, they would scare away the buyers who were interested in this house.

As a result, he didn't expect that Jin Muchen didn't take the 15 million dollars seriously at all now, and on the day he received the offer, he called his agent back: Take it!

It's just two simple words, so before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month arrives, this house belongs to Jin Muchen.

To be exact, it belongs to a shell company registered overseas, and the next job is how to renovate the house.

In Jin Muchen's mind, this house should be a multi-functional room for their family's parking garage, studio, family's reception room, warehouse, etc. in the future.

Because he was very satisfied with the designer Wayne who renovated his house last time, Jin Muchen contacted this guy again this time, and when he received his call, Wayne couldn't take care of lunch and rushed over.

"Mr. Jin, how do you want to renovate this house?"

After understanding the situation and going to the house to actually inspect it, the Vane asked with a smirk.

And Jin Muchen stood on the first floor, and he waved his hand directly: "Here, all of them will be changed into parking lots for me!" ”

Vane looked so stupid, this is a whole floor! More than 400 squares! How many cars do you want to park?

And this is a SOHO area, even if the location of this house is not very good, how can a square meter be worth tens of thousands of dollars, right?

But you actually used this house as a parking lot!? The world of local tyrants, we really don't understand!

And looking at the dumbfounded look of designer Wayne, Jin Muchen's heart is not to mention how cool, no wonder so many rich people like to be willful, this feel is really cool! (To be continued......)
