The part-time real estate agent (still Jenny's best friend) received the call on Sunday, immediately drove two hours to the farm and was incomprehensible about the quirks of rich people — buying a farm in the city, buying a house in the city on the farm.

Well, the customer is God. It's all about the transaction fees.

Buying a house is not renting, just live in it, because it is a house to buy for Yezi, so the focus is on the opinion of Yezi's guardian aunt. As for Yezi's opinion, I don't even need to refer to it.

My aunt has always regarded thrift as a virtue, especially after hearing that two percent of Nevada's property tax is paid every year and forever - Nevada's state business tax is very low, and it is even known as a tax-free haven for American companies, and many American companies like to register here. But the property tax is directly on par with California.

In fact, the property tax is not the highest in the United States, the highest is the inheritance tax, the United States inheritance tax is more than 650,000 US dollars, and the progressive tax system reaches up to 65%.

Now I understand why the richest man in the United States wants to say that he donated the software company to the state before he died, but if he doesn't donate it, the tax bureau will take two-thirds after his death.

The problem is that people are smart, and they donate a lot of money to his wife's fund from a very early age - the fund is tax-free, and as the manager of the fund and the beneficiary, his wife and children have no worries.

That way, when he is dying, he will be able to donate the company to the U.S. government, which owes a lot of debt, but it is still a good asset.

This doesn't matter to Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng's idea is that I won't die if I drag Lao Tzu to the United States.

Because I want to buy a house in a wealthy area with good education quality, real estate agents recommend houses with more than $100,000.

My aunt chose a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 140,000-dollar house, and Zhang Cheng only gave one comment after reading it: "How to live in a house of more than 100,000 yuan." ”

The real estate agent who was tasting the rabbit steak was about to cry, he lived in a house bought with a mortgage loan of more than 100,000 US dollars, and he was not a human being. Yes, he is 99 percent, and the Chinese tyrant in front of him is the 1 percent.

The aunt at home almost obeyed Zhang Cheng's words, and immediately changed to a house of 229,000 US dollars and read: "Located in the northwest of Reno, the house was built in 05 and is well maintained, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Here the snow-capped mountains of Nevada and the magnificent views of the valley are unobstructed. When you see it with your own eyes, you will definitely choose him, and yes, he is. Hardwood floors, granite countertops, high ceilings, gas fireplace...... Walk-in closet in the master bedroom...... I think this house is good. The scenery inside and outside is very good. Besides, what to do with buying such an expensive house, the burden is still high. ”

Zhang Cheng's evaluation of this place is: "It's barely able to live in, how about the nearby schools?" ”

Real Estate Agent: "The only way to get a better middle school than here is to go to a private high school." The down payment for the mortgage here is from 20 percent......"

Zhang Cheng immediately interrupted the real estate agent's verbosity: "When did I take out a loan to buy something, it was only more than 200,000 yuan, and I bought it in full." ”

The real estate agent shed tears in his heart: Chinese tyrants are really loved and hated.

Zhang Cheng showed the photo of the house to Ye Zi: "What do you think of here?" ”

Ye Zi hugged the baby and lowered her eyebrows like a little daughter-in-law: "Mom said yes, it's good, I have no opinion at all." ”

Zhang Cheng said to the real estate economy: "That's no problem, tomorrow Monday afternoon to see the house, you prepare the documents, then I will call a lawyer to sign the transfer together." ”

Sending off the real estate agent, Zhang Cheng said to his aunt: "Auntie, ride a horse." ”

Hearing this, the aunt suddenly knelt on the ground, supported her body with her hands and knees, and asked, "So?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Okay, I admit that this joke is really a bit high. Leaves, go lead the horse. ”

"Oh." Ye Zi answered, stepped forward and grabbed her aunt's collar and asked, "Master, take it to the bedroom or the bathroom?" ”

Zhang Cheng corrected: "Go to the stable and lead the horse." ”

Ye Zi: "Master, don't, the handsome guy Mike picked is too big, we're afraid we can't stand it." ”

Zhang Cheng corrected again: "Go to the stable to lead Jenny, Bei Tooth, and Yueji, let's go horseback riding." OK？ ”

Auntie and Ye Zi glanced at each other: It turns out that it's not a shame game. Ye Zi immediately went to the stable to lead the horse, and the aunt got up in a panic and pretended to do nothing.

On Monday, viewing, signing, swiping, and closing. I can't move in yet, because some electrical appliances haven't been bought, and the rented house has electrical appliances because it's so easy to rent, and the house sold has no electrical appliances, except for the meter and light bulbs, you have to buy it yourself.

The neighbors here are much better off than the neighborhoods where they used to rent, and the former neighbors were either Mexican immigrants with no regular jobs or blue-collar construction workers. It is generally inhabited by white-collar workers, as well as ranchers or small businessmen who buy houses in the city to give their children a better education.

Tuesday, Philosophy class.

Somehow today, the professor talked about the real-life example of the butterfly effect.

The philosophy professor was very fond of Chinese students, and Zhang Cheng was also named to speak about the butterfly effect that happened in real life.

Zhang Cheng thought for a moment and said: "There was a minister in ancient China who was shocked when he saw that the king had someone make a pair of ivory chopsticks. When he returned home, the minister told his family that the country was going to perish. Let's move out of here.

When his family asked him what was wrong, he said that the king had eaten with ivory chopsticks. The family doesn't understand very much, what happens to a king of a country who uses a pair of chopsticks? What does this have to do with the death of the country?

The minister said to his family, "If a person eats with ivory chopsticks, will he still use a bowl made of clay?" No, I will definitely have to change the golden bowl and jade plate. Can a golden bowl and jade plate still hold a shoddy meal? No, it will definitely be eaten from the mountains and seas. If a person eats delicacies from the mountains and seas in a golden bowl and jade plate, will he still sit under the thatched house and eat as before? No, it is necessary to build a magnificent palace and fill it with a large number of young and beautiful ladies. Then he collected the treasures of the world to decorate the storehouses of his palace.

In the long run, the country will be destroyed, and I am afraid of his end, so I am afraid of his beginning. ”

The professor said, "Very good, can I ask the name of this ancient Chinese philosopher?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Jizi, he and his family chose to leave when the country was in turmoil, settled on the Korean Peninsula in Korea more than 3,000 years ago, and was also the founder of Jizi Joseon. ”

Professor: "Very, very good, I often tell myself that the Chinese mind is full of wisdom and always surprises me." I didn't disappoint today either. Today's assignment is to read a Chinese philosophical classic called "Tao Te Ching", don't worry, there is an English version. Then write a paper in four weeks, hand it in, and let you go. Don't worry, it's not a long article, it's only a few thousand words. Haha ”

After listening to the professor's words, Zhang Cheng spurted out a mouthful of old blood in his heart: Just such a deep book as the Tao Te Ching, if you let this group of people who can barely understand Ma Zhe read it, isn't it playing with them.

What is the Tao Te Ching? Zhang Chengzhi said that it was Lao Tzu, the national librarian of the Zhou Dynasty, who understood the formation of the universe and the view of the world, which was condensed into a text version of several thousand words. If the Tao Te Ching can be read casually, it will be easy to kill Einstein Hawking with IQ.

Immediately after class, a classmate came to ask Zhang Cheng, "Do you have that book?" ”

"The only thing that's certain is that I don't have an English version."

"Oh." A sigh.

Zhang Cheng analyzes the butterfly effect like this, butterfly effect, butterfly, Zhuang Zhou dream butterfly, Lao Zhuang, Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching. Well, recently the professor has started to look at Lao Zhuang.
