At this meal, Zhang Cheng was also allowed to drink two glasses of red wine - this bottle of wine was originally intended for Zhang Cheng to drink when he got married, because according to Chinese tradition, eighteen years old is not considered an adult, and marriage is considered an adult.

After the meal, the family had a meeting, and my father said, "I thought about it just now, I think it's not safe to keep this money in the bank." What if the old man's family found out? If you go to court, the court will at least freeze the deposit, and if you lose the lawsuit, you will have nothing. Isn't that just a bamboo basket for water? ”

When my mother thought about it, she also felt that it made sense: "Why didn't I think of this, I thought it was my own." Husband, what do you think should be done with this money? ”

Dad thought for a while and said, "Let the child immigrate with the money - the cross-border lawsuit is not so easy to fight." Investment immigrants are welcome. Besides, if the investment project is done well, the income may not be worse than that of the depository bank. ”

Then, the question arises again, what project to invest in?

In China, you don't need to think about it to know that you want to buy a house for investment - in fact, it is a house speculation. But foreign countries are obviously different, and it is not good to speculate on real estate, take New York as an example, housing prices are high, but if you go to speculate, you will die as much as you want. First of all, a property tax of three percent per year, and then a bunch of various insurances have to be paid - the cost of flipping a house has greatly increased, and the house will be lost if it is not sold or rented out - now I understand how Beijingers are in New York, so how did the house speculators go bankrupt.

The family surfed the Internet and flipped through the newspapers, just to find a good project.

In the end, Zhang Cheng found a good project on the Internet - which he could control a little: "Mom and Dad, come and see this news." ”

Mom and Dad came to take a look, but it was the news of former NBA retired star Yao Ming, Yao Ming bought a vineyard and winery in Napa Valley, California in 09, and now it is on sale, a bottle of wine in 09 costs hundreds of dollars, such sky-high wine is still in short supply, because many people can't buy it at all.

Zhang Cheng said: "I think it's a good way to buy vineyards and wineries, although the vast majority of wineries produce ordinary table wine for more than ten dollars or tens of dollars, but this market is also large in China, with the increase in consumption level in recent years, it has also cultivated a lot of wine drinkers." Moreover, one of the best things about doing wine business is that wine is not afraid of storage, and the longer it is stored, the higher the price of wine. ”

Dad thought for a while: "I think it's okay, in fact, the fastest growing part is high-tech, but we don't understand." If you want to put your feet, there is no place to stay, agriculture is different, and the vineyard land and the winery's ability to retain its value is also good. Tomorrow I will ask for leave from the unit, you will ask for leave from the school, and you will go through your immigration procedures with me. ”

The mother hurriedly asked, "What about the child's college entrance examination?" ”

Dad said firmly: "It's not that there is no college in the United States, take 10,000 steps back and say, what do multimillionaires do when they go to college, don't they go to college just to find a job, how many college students can earn 10 million US dollars in their lifetime, and the annual salary of the American middle class is only 50,000 US dollars." Bill Gates is not taking a break from school to make money. ”

In this way, the next morning after the family meeting, Zhang Cheng went to school to ask for leave and came back, and embarked on the road of running immigration procedures with his father.

As an immigration country, the United States is still very welcoming to wealthy immigrants, and this is not the kind of immigration company type investment that invests hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire more than a dozen people - the kind of companies above generally only have a lifespan of a few months.

Considering Zhang Cheng's education problems, Dad finally chose to buy a vineyard for Zhang Cheng in Washoe County, Nevada, according to the broker, the climate here is no different from neighboring California, but the price of the vineyard is several times different - the reason is that the vineyards in California are too famous in recent years, and many people have followed the trend to buy the price has been speculated, and another advantage of buying vineyards in Nevada is that the tax rate is low, and the local tax in California is known as the highest local tax rate in the United States.

The price of the 230-acre vineyard + winery is 8 million US dollars, equivalent to nearly 50 million yuan, and it is said that it can produce one million bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon wine every year, but unfortunately it is in a state of bank custody, and the winery's cellar is empty - when someone buys the winery and vineyard in Zhilu Road, the bank immediately transfers the wealth that does not belong here.

Zhang Cheng's family of three drove more than an hour to their vineyard after getting off the plane in Reno, and saw about this situation, the winery still has more than 20 workers to raise (picking grapes and barrels to make wine), and the winery is in charge of production is a white old man named Johnson.

The good news is that the villas here in the vineyard are quite beautiful, with a wooden structure, and there are six bathrooms of several hundred square meters on the upper and lower floors, which is much larger than the two-bedroom and one-bedroom commercial houses in China, although there is no indoor swimming pool but there is a swimming pool of several hundred square meters outdoors - which is quite helpful for spending the summer.

During the period of bank custody, the house has been hired to clean the room and clean the swimming pool regularly, so there is no feeling of being dusty for a long time.

Mom and Dad stayed here to buy furniture, household appliances, meals, and materials to decorate the house, while Zhang Cheng followed the officials of the Immigration Bureau to another place to face the Star-Spangled Banner and take the oath of naturalization procedures - the scene was vaguely familiar, and Zhang Cheng remembered that it was about the same step when he joined the team and joined the group before.

In addition to investing in vineyards, Zhang Cheng's father also sponsored a million dollars in Zhang Cheng's name to the University of Nevada, the best university on the West Coast of the United States.

It has to be said that in the evil capitalist countries, many things are clearly priced, and the day after receiving the sponsorship, Zhang Cheng received an admission letter from the University of Nevada, Reno - for the university, the admission letter issued to you is just an opportunity for you to enter a full-time university, not that you will be able to save enough credits to get a degree certificate.

The enrollment time is the beginning of September, and now Zhang Cheng has to learn English and English in five months. To this end, his parents hired a full-time English tutor for Zhang Cheng - Jenny, a 24-year-old graduate of the Department of Chinese at the University of Nevada.

24-year-old Jenny is convex and backward, her orange hair is simply tied in a single ponytail, and she is dressed intellectually. After hiring Jenny as a governess, her mother said in private: "It's just a little bigger." ”

Fortunately, the tutor is not a daughter-in-law, and it doesn't matter if she has a big mouth and a small mouth.

On this day, Zhang Cheng accompanied his parents and governess Jenny around the vineyard and winery, and as a guide was naturally Johnson, the old man of the vineyard, a winemaker who has been in the industry for 30 years and has dedicated his life to making the best wines.
