Chapter 273: The house is too small
Arranged a small workshop, spent two or three days, taught three people how to produce their own existing pigments and oil, oil or something is good to say, after the pigment grains are broken by the machine, they have to be ground into very fine particles by hand, fortunately, the three people hired are very hard-working, and they are quite careful in their work, and the pigment grinding is better than Fang Yi's own doing.
After explaining all the things in the small workshop, Fang Yi left to return to China.
There is nothing to say about returning to China, it is nothing more than to attend Zhang Xu's wedding and renew the old with friends. A few days passed quickly, and Fang Yi was ready to leave for a detour from the United States to France. Because Zou Heming found a piece of land for Fang Yi, Shang Yi looked very satisfied with the photo, and if it was suitable to see the scene, Fang Yi was ready to take out the money from his pocket.
Zou Heming's current identity is not only the owner of Fang Yi and a few people who signed a contract with the gallery, but also like a friend of several people! Even Fang Yi's purchase of land and building a house helped Zhang Luo, and as for Fang Yi's arrival in Los Angeles, he helped Fang Yi book a hotel one step earlier and drove to the airport to pick up people.
"You salute so little? Why didn't Peronica come with you? Zou Heming watched Fang Yi walk out of the passage with only a travel bag in his hand, and asked directly, "Is there any other big salute?" ”。 After giving Fang Yi a hug, Zou Heming looked at the bag in Fang Yi's hand and said.
Fang Yi listened and picked up the bag in his hand: "The clothes and everything are in there, nothing big!" Beronica has an exhibition during this time, and besides, if she comes with me to China, I can come back there so quickly! She'd been wanting to see the Great Wall or something! ”。
"Let's go!"
Zou Heming wanted to reach out and help Fang Yi carry the bag. However, he was rejected by Fang Yi: "Nothing is very light!" Let's go and see the land? ”。
"What time is it, where to see what! Let's stay in the hotel first, and we'll go to see it tomorrow" Zou Heming and Fang Yi walked out of the airport side by side. I got in the car and drove towards the hotel.
When he arrived at the hotel and stayed there, Fang Yi began to pick up his mobile phone to report his safety to his family, and then called his girlfriend, saying that he had arrived at the hotel, and then about when he would go back.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock at the door.
Fang Yi said into the phone: "It may be that the room service I called has arrived, and I will talk to you when I go back!" Bye-on-a-blah! Hearing Beronica's goodbye on the other end of the phone, Fang Yi closed the line here. Walk towards the door.
opened the door and saw that it was not only the waiter but also Zou Heming who came in, so he directly motioned for the two to come in together.
The waiter came in with a cart. After setting up the things, he took the tip from Fang Yi's hand, said thank you, and Xie Xie helped the two of them close the door and walked out.
"I'll eat with us, let's talk while eating!" Zou Heming sat down at the table, picked up his fork and began to eat.
Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, "You don't say a word when you come to fight for dinner." The two of us big men hid in the room and ate together. Did you see the waiter looking at us just now? It's like he's looking at us like we're gay! ”。
"What's the big deal, it's legal here!" Zou Heming said while eating.
Sitting down at the table, Fang Yi also started eating, and asked while eating, "The place looks good from the photos!" Thirty acres is not too small! ”。
"If you think it's small, you can buy the two small farms next to it!" Zou Heming took a sip of wine and said to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this and said, "What do I want to do on the farm, there is no grass or anything on it, do you still think that I still have time to plant some potatoes and corn when I have nothing to do?" ”。
"If you don't want to grow crops, then plant grass and you'll be done, even if you don't plant grass. If you don't need to plant it for a year or two, it will grow grass! Zou Heming glanced at Fang Yi and said.
"It's okay to plant grass on the farm!" Fang Yi was a little worried, if Lao Mei had any arable land here that could not be occupied, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Zou Heming raised his head and asked, "What can be the problem?" Now these small farms don't make much money. Most of the time, you have to rely on government subsidies a little! ”。
"Let's check it out tomorrow!" Fang Yi is a little interested in land here, think about it, when he was in China, he got about an acre with his teacher, and he had to talk about the level, and his uncle also said how much he wanted! Now thirty acres of land can be done for more than 100,000 dollars, which is very good in Fang Yi's opinion.
"It's a pity that you're the only one to buy things! What are they going to do with the money? Zou Heming asked at Fang Yi.
After thinking for a while, Fang Yi smiled and cut the beef in his hand and said, "They don't know what Lu Dao is doing with the money, and they haven't thought about where to settle down, so they have been keeping it in the bank!" ”。
The four of them may be poor, and now they all have millions of dollars in hand, and I don't know how to spend it! Now squatting in the small village is still the same as before, eating and painting, painting and eating, as for what clothes and cars have not thought about changing, and now the four of them only have two cars!
"They should find someone and a woman to help them spend their money!" Zou Heming wiped his hands with a napkin when he heard this, and quipped: "Making money is to make your life easier and more comfortable, isn't this money just a bunch of numbers in the bank, what's the point?" ”。
I agree with that! If you have money, you have to make your life comfortable! Fang Yi nodded and said. Although Fang Yi doesn't spend much money now and lives in a small cabin with Beronica, Fang Yi will move into a big house in the future, and he will definitely buy a big house.
The two of them were eating and chatting, and Fang Yi listened to Zou Heming talking about next year's American exhibition and the Venice Biennale. Regarding the arrangement of Fang Yi in the national pavilion, Zou Heming inquired and sent some news, but it was obvious that the manager of the small American gallery had little weight and enjoyed the treatment of procrastination.
Fang Yi said directly: "Let's rent a booth, and I'll hold a solo exhibition by myself when the time comes!" There is no news about Khima they entered the national pavilion! ”。
"Artur and Anders are about the same, and there is a good chance that Khima is also very likely. Ruud is now decided. You haven't heard from you at all! Zou Heming said: "I have sent several letters to the Chinese organizers, but there is no definite news!" Do you want me to go to China? ”。
Fang Yi listened and said, "It's still not necessary!" Don't be busy! Still want to help me set up a stall! If they have any problems, they can also have a companion with me." Although Zou Heming has a Chinese name. But in essence, he didn't know anything about China, and suddenly a small gallery jumped out of the hall to let Fang Yi's oil paintings enter the hall? How is it possible, let's be realistic, it's the right way to spend your own money to rent a stall outside the venue.
The two chatted for more than an hour before they went back to their rooms to rest. Early the next morning, Zou Heming drove Fang Yi towards the small ranch in his car.
The small ranch was not close to the city, and Zou Heming's car left the city and drove for almost fifty minutes before arriving at the destination. However, such a long distance did not change Fang Yi's good mood much. Along the way, there are many large trees that hug the path, and the car passes between the bulging hills. This kind of scenery makes Fang Yi feel unsatisfied.
"That's it ahead!" Zou Heming pointed to a small house with a red roof in front of him and said, "The place from behind us to the big forest over there belongs to this ranch!" a total of forty-five acres".
Driving to the front of the house, a young woman in professional clothes walked out of the door, saw Zou Heming and said happily: "Lawrence! Hello! ”。
The two sides introduced it. Fang Yi only realized that this woman's name was Emily. He is a real estate broker.
First of all, I took a look at the house, the whole small house is not very interesting, the things are very neat, but none of them, including this small house, have not entered Fang Yi's eyes, if you live in such a house in the future, it is not much better than Fang Yi and Beronica live now.
After visiting the house, Emily took Fang Yi and Zou Heming to see some of the facilities of the small ranch, what a cowshed. Stables or something. I don't know what these things are for, anyway, I heard Emily say that this is a cowshed. Fang Yi nodded, stables! Fang Yi nodded again.
When looking at the scenery around the small pasture, Fang Yi was very satisfied, a stream four or five meters wide is the boundary of the grassland, the whole stream is crystal clear, the river channel is full of trees on both sides, even now, Fang Yi can imagine at a glance, the lush scene here in summer. Not to mention the five-colored pebbles lying at the bottom of the creek bed at a glance.
Looking at the look on Fang Yi's face, Ai Jinli immediately said: "Even if this stream is full of water, it is only up to the height of the horse's leg, think about buying here, you ride a horse, the horse's hooves gently carry the stream, there is a roaring sound in your ears, and then look at the green in your eyes, what a fascinating scene!" ”。
"What trees are there?" Fang Yi asked, looking at the surrounding trees.
Emily opened her mouth and said, "There are mainly oaks and cedars, and some maple and cedar!" Seventy percent of this little farm is covered by woodland and 30 percent is pasture! ”。
"Who's on the other side of the creek?" Fang Yi opened his mouth and asked.
"It's a small ranch over there, but it's a little smaller than here, and it's for sale for twenty acres, about $40,000! Twenty-five dollars in land tax for a year! ”。
While listening to Emily's introduction, Zou Heming drove the car, and the three of them walked around the small ranch and looked around. There is nothing to say about this ranch Fang Yi, such a scene, it will directly carry a little Jiuzhaigou meaning in China, how can Fang Yi not be secretly happy.
As for the two small farms that Zou Heming said yesterday, Fang Yi also went to take a look, and calculated the price of less than 400,000 US dollars in total.
What a big deal! After calculating this number, Fang Yi did not hesitate, and said directly to Emily: "How much cheaper can I give, if I buy these two ranches and two farms!" ”。
"Give you a ninety-eight discount?" Emily listened to Fang Yi's words, and couldn't wait to hug Fang Yi and kiss her, and sold four lots at once!
"Nice place, but this house is not very satisfied! It's too small, and the style doesn't suit my appetite," Fang Yi thought of the biggest flaw here, and opened his mouth to Emily and said.
Zou Heming heard this and immediately said, "Indeed! Such a house can't even fit an easel! ”。 Looking at Fang Yi's appearance, he knew that Fang Yi was moved, and he grabbed this shortcoming and talked to Emily about the price! Obviously, Zou Heming is much more good than Fang Yi, helping to cut a little here and drop a little there, and finally talked about the price of 360,000, Fang Yi nodded with satisfaction.
