Chapter 133. [Dog's eyes look at people low]
After driving all the way to the destination, Yi Feiyang got out of the car and took a relaxing stroll around Hollywood.
Not far in front is the area's famous shopping district, which sells high-end consumer goods, mostly imported from France and Italy, and has become an icon of Hollywood fashion trends. In addition to most of the high-end venues that spend money, there is also the Walk of Fame that attracts the attention of the world.
It is a sidewalk that stretches along Hollywood Avenue and Vine Street in the United States, and there are more than 2,000 star-shaped medals inlaid with the names of celebrities posthumously honored by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to commemorate their contributions to the entertainment industry.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame has always been a must-stop for tourists visiting Los Angeles, but many foreign tourists who come to the "Walk of Fame" for the first time think that it does not have the Hollywood style that they imagined, and there are often beggars and various small vendors and the cleanliness is poor.
However, according to Yi Feiyang's eyes, this is a good place for walking and leisure, because you can see the "true face" of Hollywood behind the prosperity more clearly.
Yi Feiyang walked on the Avenue of Stars while looking at the scenery on the side of the road, while looking for the real estate company here, he did not use his company's relationship, except for the element of distraction, just to experience the fun of finding a house by himself. In his previous life, he was a person who had no fixed place, and he thought about a house of his own all day long and lived in peace.
After walking around the street for a while, I finally saw a real estate agency around a corner, Yi Feiyang pushed the door directly and walked in, in this small agency. There was a white aunt in her 40s who was sitting in a chair watching a talk show on TV.
Seeing a guest coming. The white aunt's eyes shifted from the TV. Standing up and greeting Yi Feiyang, "Hey, young man, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”
Yi Feiyang nodded slightly at the white aunt, and said his intention very politely: "Hello, I'm here to find a house, I don't know if you have anything suitable here." ”
"Ha, look like you're a student, come here to study? So what kind of house do you need to rent? Not to mention you don't know what to do, but I like you young students the most, and our Jack is also in school......" The white aunt laughed, "And, let me guess, you're Chinese, right?" ”
"Hey, how do you know the way?" Yi Feiyang was surprised, could it be that this white aunt pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and she had already recognized herself?
"Ha, do you need to talk about it. Korean and Japanese students don't come here to rent a house. It's too expensive for them to afford! You are the only Chinese students who like to live in such an upscale area, and sometimes I wonder if China is richer than Japan and South Korea?! ”
Yi Feiyang blushed after hearing this.
Those who can come to the United States to study, which one is not the second generation of rich, the second generation of officials, the family is either rich or powerful, of course, they like to live in a high-end community with face. Of course, it can't be said that it is all, there are still most Chinese students who are very work-study, and some second-generation officials and rich second-generation also know how to "rely on yourself".
In fact, the early Chinese students who studied in the United States gave people a very good impression, hard-working, and full of fighting spirit, just like the opening of a popular TV series of the Celestial Empire, "If you love someone, send him to New York, because it is heaven; If you hate someone, send him to New York, because it's hell there. That says it all.
Seeing that Yi Feiyang was silent after listening to his words, the enthusiastic white aunt continued to nag: "Oh, by the way, let's talk about it, dear Chinese friends, what requirements do you have, such as the height of the floor, the size of the area, and the environmental sanitation and transportation outlets, as long as you put it forward, I will try my best to meet you, and I will definitely help you find a suitable one." Yes, I assure God of Lang that my service is absolutely top notch! ”
Seeing that Yi Feiyang was not very old, the white aunt regarded him as a student who was still in school, but she guessed Yi Feiyang's intention wrongly, Yi Feiyang bought a house at all, not rented.
"I'm sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear, I'm not here to rent a house, but to buy a house." Yi Feiyang was not surprised, before entering this door, he knew that he was likely to be misunderstood, after all, he was too young now, and he came alone, here, there are not many people who come to buy a house by themselves at his age.
"Oh God, I heard you right, did I?" The white aunt exclaimed in amazement, "You mean, you're here to buy a house?" ”
"Yes." Yi Feiyang nodded affirmatively.
After confirming that he had heard correctly, the white aunt's eyes were wrong, "Honey, do you know the housing prices here...... Very expensive ......" The white aunt didn't look down on Yi Feiyang, afraid that he wouldn't be able to take out so much money, but reminded him, afraid that he wouldn't know the housing prices here, so he ran over recklessly.
The corners of Yi Feiyang's mouth curled, and he smiled very confidently, "Of course, I also know this. ”
"Well, my dear, I believe you, but you know, you look too young." When the white aunt heard what Yi Feiyang said, she knew that a big customer had come, and hurriedly apologized. In fact, these places mainly provide more rental information, and selling houses is generally directly to find a sales point specially set up by real estate developers. If you can sell your house here, you can get a lot more than the real estate agent's fee.
"I want a ready-made house, it doesn't matter what the decoration is, but the house can't be too small, in this area, the traffic situation in the vicinity should be better, well, it's better to have lighting or something, I don't know if you have a suitable house for sale here?"
Yi Feiyang directly said his request, although it seemed rather wordy, but he still mentioned it with a cheeky face. He is not afraid that the white aunt in front of him will be annoying him, according to his requirements, if the aunt finds a suitable house, it will definitely be a large amount of income, and it is also the place where he will live in the future, Yi Feiyang doesn't want to treat himself badly.
"Oh. I understand. Yes. I understand, let me see if there is a building that is particularly suitable for you. Hearing Yi Feiyang's request, the white aunt immediately turned over the information and began to look it up, because Yi Feiyang asked for a relatively high-end residence, so the information was not very much, and it was very fast. The white aunt read the information.
"Do you have to be a building, an independent Western-style two-story house?" The building that Yi Feiyang said was not found, and the white aunt asked a question.
"A detached cottage?" Yi Feiyang thought for a while and agreed: "As long as all other conditions are met, I have no problem." ”
"Oh, in that case, I'll give you a call and ask, the owner of this house is going to immigrate to other places, and he is in a hurry to deal with it, maybe he can give you a very good price."
"Thank you very much. Please give us a call. Yi Feiyang said, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.
The white aunt picked up the phone. I pressed the number and called.
Momentarily, the phone will be connected.
"Yes, there's a young man who wants to buy your house, not a rental, it's a purchase!"
"What? The price can't be cheap, this ......" The white aunt glanced at Yi Feiyang, Yi Feiyang nodded and smiled: "It's okay, as long as the location is good and the environment is good." ”
The white aunt continued to call, "The young man said, the price is negotiable, well, yes, he is ......" It seems that the phone asked about Yi Feiyang's race, "He is Chinese." "The white aunt said very truthfully.
The other end of the phone immediately changed, the voice was very loud, even Yi Feiyang next to him could hear it, only to see the other end of the phone say: "Damn, why didn't you say it earlier, I hate those Chinese the most, it's not polite, and it's not hygienic, when I rented it before, I made a mess of my house!" God, even if I can't sell it, I won't sell it to the Chinese! ”
The white aunt's face looked very embarrassed, she didn't expect the homeowner's thinking to be so low-level, and there was such strong racial discrimination.
The white aunt looked at Yi Feiyang and was embarrassed to speak, but still said: "I'm sorry, dear, I can't do anything, the owner seems to be a little reluctant to sell the house......"
Yi Feiyang was holding back the anger in his heart, and he couldn't wait to get over the phone and kick the bastard, but he still suppressed his hot temper, smiled and said, "It's not your fault, ma'am, you've done your best, haven't you?" ”
"Why don't I look for you again, is there a suitable building for you?" The white aunt felt very sorry for Yi Feiyang, and of course, there were some intermediary fees that could not be put down.
Yi Feiyang shook his head, "Thank you, I'll take a look at other places." "I'm leaving.
The white aunt hurriedly took out a business card and said, "Hey, here's a business card, it's a big real estate agency nearby, you can go there and have a look, believe me, you will definitely be able to find the right house for you!" ”
Faced with the enthusiasm of the white aunt, Yi Feiyang was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to take the business card and thank him again.
Out of this company, Yi Feiyang looked for the past according to the address of the business card, which was not far ahead, but it also saved a lot of foot effort.
The white aunt is right, this real estate agency is much bigger, much more luxurious, and there is a smiling welcome lady at the door of the company, a white girl, a black girl, standing at the door to contrast with each other.
Yi Feiyang came on foot, dressed very ordinarily, without the slightest big money, tycoon, upper-class appearance, and even the watch on his wrist, as long as anyone who knows a little about the market can see that it belongs to the cheap goods on the stall.
Alas, it can't be helped, as the most famous area of Los Angeles, the Hollywood area basically represents prosperity and luxury, no matter how poor people are, they try to make themselves look bright and shiny.
Therefore, Yi Feiyang stood at the door of this real estate company, without attracting the attention of the "black and white" beauties, as if he was an insignificant figure who existed or not.
On the contrary, while Yi Feiyang stopped to watch the magnificent façade of this real estate company, a luxurious BMW sedan was parked at the door of this real estate company, and two people got out of the car, all wearing gold and silver, one was a white man with a big belly, and the other was a blonde beauty dressed in a bewitching dress.
"Oh dear, are you really going to rent me a nice apartment?" The blonde beauty snuggled into the arms of the fat man and said coquettishly.
"Of course, my dear. So that we can see each other often. Ha. Do you know how much I love you? I haven't seen you for a day, and my whole heart is thinking about you! The fat man arched the blonde's face with his fat lips disgustingly.
"Welcome, sir, please!" The black and white shuangjiao gave a very welcome cry and invited the white fat man and the blonde beauty to come in together.
The white fat man glanced at Yi Feiyang proudly, then hugged the blonde beauty and swaggered in; Behind, Yi Feiyang followed forward, but was stopped by the black girl. "Excuse me, sir, this is the real estate company......"
"Yes, I know that this is a real estate company, and I am here to see the house." Yi Feiyang said with a sigh of anger.
"Looking at the house?" The two women looked at Yi Feiyang suspiciously, but they were startled by Yi Feiyang's sharp eyes, why is this person's gaze so terrifying? Trembling, he hurriedly said, "Then you go in, good luck, sir." "That's when I let it go.
Yi Feiyang snorted coldly. When I walked into this real estate company that looked very atmospheric, the people inside were very enthusiastic...... Very warm for white fat guys and blonde beauties who just got in. I saw a skinny agent nodding his head and smiling at him, introducing the real estate they were renting.
Yi Feiyang came in, but no one paid attention to him, yes, basically no one thought he existed.
There was no way, Yi Feiyang had to walk up to a young lady who was applying nail polish and said, "Sorry, excuse me, I want to ......"
Before Yi Feiyang could finish speaking, the young lady shouted at the skinny guy, "Oliver, there's another guest here!" Then he buried himself in nail polish again.
The skinny "Oliver" was spitting at the fat man, and was suddenly interrupted, but he couldn't help but glance at Yi Feiyang and said, "Don't you see I'm busy, let him wait for a while." ”
"I'm sorry, Oliver is busy, you can wait a minute!" The girl who applied the nail polish said without looking up.
Yi Feiyang was furious, and then roared very wildly: "Could it be that all the people here are dead?!" ”
Mad! Proud!
The entire sales department was taken by surprise.
A real estate agent next to him, who looked very young, saw Yi Feiyang roaring like this, hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward very enthusiastically and helped pour a cup of coffee, "Hello, sir, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, please use coffee first." ”
Yi Feiyang exhaled at this time, and asked in a very uncleious manner, "What's your name?" ”
The young real estate agent was a little embarrassed and said, "You can call me 'York', I've only been here for three days, and I'm a newcomer." ”
Yi Feiyang understands the meaning of the so-called "newcomer", that is, he does not know much about the situation here and cannot serve you for the time being.
"But if you don't mind, I can give you a rough introduction to the situation here, which you can use as a reference." York plucked up the courage to say that to be honest, he had been here for three days, and he had endured the harassment and disdain of these old agents, and had not even allowed him to contact the wealthy customers. And the big clients don't like the too young guy like York, who is too inexperienced to be trusted.
In the United States, trust is 100% important, more important than talent, talent, and is a necessary condition for accumulating contacts and expanding careers; It can be said that trust is a disguised communication pass, as long as you can be trusted, then there is nothing you can't do!
Seeing that the young agent volunteered to introduce himself to the house, Yi Feiyang frowned and said, "Okay, York, I'm sorry for you." ”
"Hehe, no trouble, no trouble at all." York was very happy to see Yi Feiyang believe in himself so much.
Not far away, Oliver, who was introducing the house to the fat man, heard that the new guy was going to recommend a house to this poor Chinese man, and couldn't help but sneer, "What a stupid, such a guy can afford to rent a house, that's weird!" ”
Normally, Oliver would have kicked York aside and snatched the client, but for now, he just wants to wait and see the joke.
With Yi Feiyang's permission, the newcomer York began to talk to him in detail about the advantages and disadvantages of various properties here, after all, he is a newcomer, and some places are inevitably not very clear, so he called over to inquire directly, and Yi Feiyang can be regarded as a service to his home.
Over there, the white fat man pretended to be very forced to the agent Oliver, saying that this is not good, and that is not good, and the "skinny" Oliver kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, and said in his heart, unlucky. Met such a difficult guy.
"Sir. This is already the best villa we have here. Yes, I dare to assure God of Lu, it is definitely the best, both in terms of environment and supporting settings, it is the best in this area! Oliver did his best to recommend it.
The white fat man tilted his face, "Is it, really as good as you say?" ”
"Yes, if you watched. Your satisfaction is guaranteed...... It's just that the rent is a little more expensive......"
"How much more expensive?"
"At least $20,000 a year!"
"Ah, that's expensive." The white fat man's face drooped.
The blonde beauty next to her hooked the fat man's shoulders and said coquettishly: "What's expensive, I think it's pretty good, dear, don't you love me?" ”
"Oh, my heart, how can you say that, it's just that the damn house price is too ...... It's too high. The fat man was so numb that he couldn't speak.
Agent Oliver laughed busily. "Actually, it's not expensive, compared to the same kind. There's also plenty of room for appreciation. ”
"What are you talking about, stupid, I'm renting a house and not buying a house!"
"Oh yes yes, I'm sorry, but this house is really worth the money!" Oliver said as politely as he could.
"Cut, everything you said, God knows if you are fooling me!" The white fat man said disdainfully.
"What an idiot!" Yi Feiyang next to him couldn't help but speak, and then said to the fat man: "Man, this villa is definitely worth the money, whether it is the environment or the supporting facilities, it should be one of the best in this vicinity, well, the rent of 20,000 yuan a year is not expensive at all." ”
The white fat man laughed, "Damn, who are you who dare to call me an idiot?" Where do you have to speak here? Besides, how do you know if the price is right or not? Are you all in this together? ”
Seeing that Yi Feiyang was dressed ordinarily, the fat man didn't take him seriously at all, so his tone was full of ridicule and sarcasm.
"No, I'm just a guest here, to be precise, I'm also here to see the house." Yi Fei raised his sword eyebrows and said.
"Hah, you're going to see the house like this? I thought you were here to apply for a security job! But it seems that there is no house suitable for people like you here, the housing prices here are very high, do you know that it is not something that a small person like you can rent, so I advise you to go a little farther away to see, for example, those dirty international student living areas, as well as the old areas with dirty and messy environments, maybe they will give you a discount for the sake of being Chinese! ”
In the face of the fat man's ridicule, Yi Feiyang was not angry, but said coldly to the agent York: "I have taken a fancy to his house, I wonder if Lu Dao can transfer it to me?" ”
"This ...... I can help you with an inquiry. York was overjoyed, and then asked the fat man very politely: "Excuse me, sir, do you still lease, if not, this gentleman next to me is very interested......"
"Cut, why don't I rent? It's not only 20,000 US dollars a year, and I can afford it! The fat man pretended to pick up the coffee and said coaxingly.
"I'm sorry, I mean, I'm going to buy this villa!" Yi Feiyang added coldly.
Flutter!
The fat man squirted out a mouthful of coffee, right in the face of the hapless Oliver, "What did you say?" You're going to buy it?! The fat on his face trembled, and he looked incredulous.
The hapless Oliver didn't bother to wipe the water stains on his face, "yes, that's a $580,000 villa!" He just said, "Can you afford such a big price?" ”
Yi Feiyang didn't pay attention to these two guys at all, turned to the newcomer York and said, "If it's okay, can I pay by check?" ”
York was still in a state of "dreaming", he originally thought that Yi Feiyang was going to rent this villa, so he could get a commission of a few hundred US dollars, but he didn't expect that people would buy it directly at a fixed price!
What is this concept?
That is to say, you can get a commission of more than thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars at once!
"God, you are so kind, I love you to death!" York shouted in his heart.
That Oliver also came back to his senses, first envious and jealous of York, and then his little eyes rolled, ready to directly kick York, who had taken the shit luck, away, "Ah, dear sir, York doesn't know much about this villa, why don't you let me introduce you!" ”
The great change of one hundred and eighty degrees has changed from the previous disdain to the current deference, no, it should be said to be flattery.
Yi Feiyang smiled coldly and said, "Then there is no need, I think York is very good, let's let him come." ”
Oliver was cold, but he didn't expect his hot face to stick to his cold ass, so he had to laugh dryly.
As for the newcomer York, he originally thought that this big customer was going to be snatched away again, but he didn't expect Yi Feiyang to trust himself so much, and he was extremely grateful and excited in his heart.
Here, when the blonde beauty saw that the house in her picture was about to be snatched away, she couldn't help but say to the fat man: "Oh, baby, I really like that house, why don't you buy it!" ”
The fat man's heart was on fire, he was slapped in the face by this Chinese young man, and he wanted to do it, the house was too expensive, and when he didn't know what to do, he was provoked by the woman next to him, and he couldn't help but say: "Slow, man, I also like that villa, I want to buy it!" ”
Agent Oliver didn't expect the peak to turn around, and the fat man on his side actually made a move!
Be overjoyed!
Without waiting for him to speak, Yi Feiyang preemptively said: "Okay, the villa will be given to you!" Then he winked at Oliver.
Oliver hasn't figured out what Yi Feiyang is "discharging" himself, the big fat man can see clearly, a person who buys a house is actually a "eyebrow" with a person who sells a house, and he let go so quickly, what does this mean? It shows that there are ghosts!
Shit, you dare to bully me for my low IQ!
So the fat man was furious, "Ha, do you really think I'm going to get your full set?" It's clear that you're in this group! ”
Oliver squeezed, "You misunderstood, you definitely misunderstood, I didn't know him at all!" ”
"Misunderstand your size!" The fat man slapped him over, only to make Oliver spin in circles.
"Let's go, don't buy it here, damn it, almost fooled!" The big fat man pulled up the woman and went straight out.
"Alas, this old man is so bad-tempered...... Yi Feiyang shook his head and sighed, "Oh yes, since no one wants that house, then the price is ...... Can it be less? ”
York, the newcomer, and Oliver, the old man, were stunned again. (To be continued......)
