Chapter 134. 【Acupuncture】
Yi Feiyang is the kind of person who has high requirements for efficiency, so after a simple negotiation, the villa originally worth 580,000 US dollars was cut to 550,000 by him, of course, if it is determined that the transaction will be made, the price can be a little less, but before that, you must go to see the house, in case the actual situation is too different from what is described, then Yi Feiyang will become a real fool.
The real estate agent named "York" has long regarded Yi Feiyang as the "God of Wealth" of the East, and under Yi Feiyang's proposal, he can't wait to drive his own car in person and take him to the villa to have a look, if he is satisfied, the two parties can sign a contract immediately.
Yi Feiyang didn't expect this York to be more anxious than himself, he really looked like a newcomer, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart at all, and he seemed too rough to do things. However, this kind of person is in line with Yi Feiyang's appetite, at least much better than those guys who can't beat a fart with three sticks slowly.
Yi Feiyang followed York into his own car, the car was not in very good condition, and he left the real estate company all the way, before leaving, the old agent Oliver almost burst into tears, originally this God of Wealth was his own, but the boiled duck flew away, as for the pair of "black and white Shuangjiao" who stood at the door to greet the guests, it was the first time to greet Yi Feiyang enthusiastically, and secretly sent Qiu Bo...... Looking at the coquettish appearance of the two girls, Yi Feiyang believes that as long as he hooks his fingers, he will definitely be able to get them into bed tonight, but only if he is willing to do so.
It didn't take long, about ten minutes later, Yi Feiyang's car was parked in a small parking lot.
Yi Feiyang got out of the car and looked at the surrounding environment, and felt that this place was really good. The traffic around is very smooth. The environment is good, too. There are two rows of large trees planted on the side of the road, and under the sun, beams of light are sprinkled through the gaps in the leaves, which looks refreshing. At the edge of the parking lot is a beautiful green park where some people are walking.
"This is it." York took Yi Feiyang on foot for a while, came to a beautiful Western-style villa, pointed to it and said, "This is it." Sir, are you satisfied? ”
Yi Feiyang looked at this villa carefully, and saw that it covered an area of about 1,000 square meters, of which the house accounted for more than 300 heads, and the rest was grassland. In the middle of the meadow there was a tall zelkova tree, which had risen above the roof of the house, and under the tree there was a small swing frame. The exterior of the house is painted cream white, and the roof is half spired and half flat, with the pointed part of the house being brick-red. The flat top part is surrounded by a fence. Around the entire villa, a wooden white picket fence is enclosed. It makes the whole home like an independent small kingdom, which is very affectionate ~ interesting.
York took out the key and opened the door of the villa, Yi Feiyang decided to buy this house after seeing it for the first time, after entering the door, the entire first floor is a large space, and there are no walls separating it, but using some wooden pillars and curtains to divide the whole space into several parts, for this kind of frame structure of the residence, Yi Feiyang still likes it very much.
In addition to a lot of space in the house, the decoration has also passed Yi Feiyang's review, the whole house adopts a bright and concise style, and the color tone is relatively simple, mainly black, white and gray, and there is nothing particularly prominent and bright colors, which also makes Yi Feiyang very satisfied, he has never liked the kind of luxurious decoration, simple and practical is his always pursuit.
After taking a few glances at each room, Yi Feiyang stopped York's introduction and said directly: "Okay, man, no need to introduce it again, I decided, this is it, yes, I am very satisfied." ”
Hearing that Yi Feiyang was very satisfied with this house, York was very happy, but he was still a little worried, Yi Feiyang, who looked very ordinary in dress, was really capable of buying this house.
So he still coughed and reminded, "Sir, have you really decided?" If you decide, you can also pay by credit card if you don't have enough money. ”
There is a popular proverb in the United States, "Money is not a panacea, and sometimes a credit card is required." ”
Yi Feiyang smiled, "Thank you for your concern, I'll pay it off in one lump sum with a check." ”
To be honest, buying this expensive place was also what Yi Feiyang expected, originally he just planned to pay about 100,000 yuan to buy a place to live, but soon he figured it out, this area of Hollywood is an inch of land, and the future housing price will soar to almost 10,000 US dollars per square meter, according to the scale of this villa, it will be able to appreciate dozens of times at that time!
What's more, the real estate in the United States is different from the Celestial Empire, which has a 70-year right to use, and this 70-year property right is very reasonable, because from the history of the Celestial Empire, many dynasties have not been 70 years, or shorter than 70 years, and 70 years is a more reasonable median value; In the United States, a house is freehold, which means that once you buy the house, it will belong to you for generations, or your children and grandchildren.
Of course, houses in the United States are taxed, but not in China. For example, the monthly tax on this house is 1,100 US dollars, about 7,128 yuan, and the annual tax is 85,536 yuan. The management fee is 1,600 US dollars per month, about 10,368 yuan, and the annual management fee is 124416 yuan. The two expenses add up to 200,000 yuan a year, which is one of the reasons why houses in the United States are not used for speculation, but Chinese houses are used for speculation. The United States has to maintain a house to buy a house, and the cost of raising a house is very high, and China has bought a house, put it there and wait for appreciation, and there is no need to pay taxes and fees, so naturally everyone goes to the house to speculate.
However, for Yi Feiyang, it is not difficult to raise a house, not to mention that you can live in a house for a lifetime now, no matter how you calculate it, it is equivalent to a disguised investment, and you will only make a lot of money.
After confirming the intention to buy, it was still early, and York happened to bring the necessary information such as the title certificate with him, Yi Feiyang and York went through the formal procedures with the help of the nearby government real estate agency, and after the transfer, he officially got the house that he was satisfied with.
Right now. In addition to the renovation of this house, it is finished. There is no furniture. The whole house seemed unusually empty, Yi Feiyang opened the floor-to-ceiling glass door leading to the courtyard, sat on the cloister under the eaves of the door, and began to think about the furniture that had to be added.
Taking out a notebook and pen from his pocket, Yi Feiyang thought as he began to record it in detail in the notebook, "Bed, sofa, table, chair." kitchen supplies, electrical appliances ......" item by item, and unconsciously, the book in Yi Feiyang's hand has been densely filled with several pages.
After maintaining a posture for a long time, even Yi Feiyang, who had been standing on the pile for a long time, was inevitably a little uncomfortable, stood up and stretched his waist, greatly stretching his muscles and bones, Yi Feiyang felt the soreness of his waist relax a little.
After carefully closing all the doors and windows, Yi Feiyang then walked out of the courtyard and glanced back at the house he had bought today. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered, "Now." I finally have my own home. ”
……
Just as Yi Feiyang was in reverie for a happy new home, the phone rang, but it was Bill Rabbit calling, and this guy and others had been urging Yi Feiyang for several days, asking him what horror movie he was going to make. And these days, Yi Feiyang has been busy tinkering with that cartoon, but he forgot about it.
"You give me some time, I will write a story outline as quickly as possible, well, you also use snacks, if there are any good stories, collect them, brainstorm ideas, and work together." Yi Feiyang finally hung up the phone, sighed, and wondered, what kind of horror movie should I make? You can't spend too much money, you have to have a good reputation, and the most important thing is to make money...... Headache.
While racking his brains and thinking, Yi Feiyang came to a Western restaurant, ready to eat something, after all, he had been busy for almost a whole day, and now it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and his stomach was already drumming.
This Western restaurant is quite clean, and the Western food is not unpalatable, at least Yi Feiyang ate three steaks by himself, and several ghosts at the adjacent table were dumbfounded.
Just as Yi Feiyang was feasting on the black pepper steak on the plate, he suddenly heard a familiar voice next to him say: "Hi, sir, it seems that you like the steak here very much, do you want another cup of hot coffee to refresh yourself?" A little black fat man with a bow around his neck asked with a smile on his face holding a tray.
Yi Feiyang saw that he was familiar with his face and accent, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he said, "It's okay, let's have a strong cup, thank you." ”
The black waiter was very neat, and quickly brought hot coffee, put it in front of Yi Feiyang very politely, and then said, "Please use it slowly, sir." ”
After saying that, he stood next to him but didn't leave.
Yi Feiyang was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
The little black fat man grinned and said, "You seem to have been busy all day." ”
"Yes," Yi Feiyang said, "People are like this, they used to be not busy and had no money, but now they have money, but they are getting busier and busier......"
"Yes, so, many people are like this, they have money but no time, and they have time but no money." The fat black man said in passing.
Yi Feiyang was stunned, "Have money but no time, have time but no money?" It seems that this sentence has been said by itself.
The fat black man continued, "But as a man, you must be a little more lenient, don't break your body for money, and when you have time, you should travel more often, and don't always bury your head in the office...... Of course, you must also pay attention to safety when traveling, for example, I have a guy who is about your age and once went to Texas for a "Terminator" movie tour party...... Does Texas know the road? It's the place where the chainsaw massacre appeared......"
Yi Feiyang became more and more familiar with the "dialogue" in front of him, and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?" You guy was chainsawed? ”
"No, how can he have such good luck, the human appliance saw murderer is not to catch and kill anyone, it has been filmed in the movie, and most of the people killed are beautiful women...... My guy was unlucky, the car was smoking, he thought there was no gas, so he opened the gas tank to check, but it was night, in order to see if there was gas in the tank, so he took out a lighter...... The result can be imagined, he is not a real terminator, with a bang, ashes, and an explosion directly ended him! ”
Seeing that the little fat man was talking with relish with the tray, Yi Feiyang suddenly remembered who this guy was.
Last year, I went to visit the great writer Stephen King, and when I came back, I passed by a gas station, and the guy in charge of cheering me was the black fat guy in front of me.
The black fat brother obviously didn't recognize the acquaintance in front of him who owed him "gas money", and he was still chattering, "In short, you must have a vision to be a man, and you must learn to protect yourself and your family, just like my unlucky friend, although he died, he bought insurance, and it was a large amount of insurance!" How righteous the insurance company is, after figuring out the truth, without saying a word, it directly settles the claim......"
"So man, for the safety of yourself and your family, and for your family to be able to get a comfort in the future, you must have the awareness of buying insurance, one person is insured, and the whole family is happy! By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, serving dishes in the restaurant, this is just my interest and hobby; Actually, I'm the manager of Allstate Insurance Company...... Do you want a full insurance? Our company is doing excellent recently, insurance 10,000 get 3,000 free! ”
Yi Feiyang: "......?!" ”
"Why does it seem like your company is doing discounts every year? And they are all insured 10,000 and 3,000 free? Yi Feiyang couldn't help but ask.
The black fat brother was stunned, "How do you know the way?" ”
Yi Feiyang shrugged, "It just so happens that I have a friend who also does insurance, and it just so happens that he is also black, and it just so happens that he is still a fat man, but ...... He refueled at the gas station ......"
The black fat brother finally recognized who Yi Feiyang was, and his old face couldn't help but blush, test, you don't need to fool yourself so much if you don't buy insurance.
Yi Feiyang smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he took out three hundred dollars and put it on the tray of the black fat brother.
The black fat brother was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Three steaks, a cup of coffee doesn't cost so much money." ”
"This 100 is the food money, this 100 is the gas fee, and this 100 is the tip......"
"Ah, a hundred buck tip? Woo, boss, you're such a nice guy! "The fat black guy couldn't be more grateful, damn the customers, almost all of them slammed the door, and the tip was only a dollar at most.
"You earned it because you did me a great favor."
"What? When am I going to help you? ”
"Just now." Yi Feiyang smiled, "Okay, I'm going to write something now......"
"I understand, don't bother you!" The fat black guy left happily with a 100-dollar tip.
Yi Feiyang took out the notebook that recorded the furniture, opened a page, and wrote a few big words - "Chainsaw Horror"! (To be continued......)
