54. How are you here
The East Bay District of the San Francisco metropolitan area, compared with the high-tech park in the South Bay and the rich people in the North Bay, there are more mountains and hills here, which is not suitable for the construction of factories and is difficult to develop large-scale business districts, and San Francisco is an earthquake-prone area, so although the scenery is beautiful here, and the second school district of the San Jose Church, the best public high school district in California, the housing prices are low, attracting a large number of middle-class settlers, and it is also a common choice for immigrant Chinese, one of the largest Chinese settlements in the United States, and the influx of high-quality middle-class families. In turn, the public education resources here are getting better and better.
After arriving at the Oakland Airport in San Francisco's East Bay, Li Ao and his entourage took the car they had booked a long time ago and went to their destination.
Li Ao looked at the scenery outside the car window and was very ...... Urban-rural junction?
He asked, "Aunt Vivien, your house is over here?" β
Liam replied, "How is it possible, she is a member of the North Side where the rich are gathered." β
Vivien ignored Liam and replied, "I grew up in this city, so of course I know something. β
"Oh......" Li Ao didn't ask about the family situation of the assistant aunt, he didn't like to do that, but he suddenly thought of one thing, and said casually: "Housing prices are low, attractive to the middle class, and there are many Chinese immigrants...... It should be good to make money in the future, buy a house here, etc., and appreciate it. β
What kind of financial tycod, capital tycoon, invincible soldier king, and crooked mouth dragon king he has become...... Not interested at all, he knew that he was a few pounds and taels of his own.
His goal in this life is very simple, he has 100 million acres of land and 100 million assets, does what he likes to do, and lives comfortably and easily to death.
The direction he wants to make money in the future is also very clear, the simplest, follow the speculation when China and the United States speculate on real estate, and make a move before the thunderstorm; For long-term investment, he buys a few stocks that he remembers will rise to an exaggerated level in the future.
He doesn't know, and he doesn't need to know, the lot that is good to sell for speculation, such as school district housing, buy those few stocks when you buy them, don't be greedy, don't engage in those jumping operations, and make a little money.
He just mentioned it casually, but the two people next to him were interested.
Instead of Vivien wondering whether to ask, Liam asked directly: "Leo, do you think the next hot market is real estate?" β
"Huh? Why do you ask this? β
"The old man also thinks that the Internet is coming to an end, and he is already throwing away those stocks, but the money from the sale has to find a place to spend it, it is not safe to put the bank, he is worried about the money in the foundation and doesn't know where to put it, he now feels that it is going to thunder, if I can think of a good direction, he may add pocket money to me!"
"Again?" Li Ao keenly picked out the words.
"Yes, that's right, last time you said that the Internet was going to be finished, I told the old man, and a few days later he threw me a check, praising me for finally growing, but this time I gave too much, and I was wondering if I should play with investment."
γΌγΌ;
β_β
Li Ao complained: "No wonder you asked me every day what birthday gift I wanted in the past few days, I still have half a year left on my birthday, and I thought that your brain was sucked dry by the eldest sister, and I can't remember the time." β
Vivien doesn't bother anymore, her family Leo and Liam can ask, she can't ask?
She didn't say that she would do whatever Li Ao said, but she just gave a suggestion to her family.
Last time Li Ao said that the Internet was going to thunder, she cared so much because she worked in the School of Computer Science and could easily understand what Li Ao meant.
She asked, "Leo, why do you think it will be suitable for investing in real estate in the future?" The real estate speculation has been in recession, and the White House has been cautious about this aspect over the years. β
Why?
This made Li Ao stop, he never thought about this, and he didn't want to spend this brain, because he knew that after the bursting of the Internet bubble in the United States, it was the stage of speculation.
It's like he knows how to buy Moutai, Taobao, and Apple, and he doesn't care why.
But he didn't think about it, he had seen some analysis in his previous life.
After summing it up, Li Ao responded: "Your eagle sauce is not the same as the footpot chicken, what the White House said doesn't count...... After the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it is certainly impossible to keep such a high interest rate, otherwise those large companies with such a high debt ratio will not be able to stand it, and the high interest rate will continue to be maintained, and it will be a real financial crisis, but if something goes wrong with the Internet, people will definitely be very cautious in investing, and the bank will definitely find a way to lend it out with a bunch of money in their hands, and if there is no market, they will have to create a market. β
He stopped at the point, definitely not because he remembered that he had nothing to say.
But that's enough for the two.
Vivien was just a suggestion to the family, not the one to implement.
Liam just wants to play with investment, learn to be an investor, and see if he can make some more money from his father by the way.
β¦
Dozens of minutes later, the three of them came to a villa area.
These villas are not big, and some of the manor-like big houses seen on the road can't be compared, Li Ao estimates that it should be a place where the middle class or immigrants live, and the developers build them uniformly, and the houses look pretty much the same.
Soon, it was time to reach the destination, and the car stopped.
An old-looking teenager rushed up and pulled the door open first.
"Leo, you're really here! I don't dare to tell my friends that you will come, I am afraid that you will release my pigeons, and I am worthy of the man I admire! β
"......" Li Ao looked at Joshua, whose body movements were exaggerated, and was speechless for a while.
When the driver told them that they were almost there, Vivien called Anna.
The fan came to pick him up on the side of the road, and Li Ao was not surprised.
got out of the car, Li Ao saw Anna's embarrassed expression, indeed, it's quite embarrassing to have such a boyfriend.
After not seeing each other for a while, Vivien got out of the car and hugged Anna.
When Li Ao introduced Liam to the young couple, Liam shook Anna's hand very gentlemanly and gently, without even looking at it.
Anna looks okay, but the ribs are fine, not Liam's dish, and she doesn't bother to appreciate it.
Joshua pulled Li Ao inside, and said excitedly: "Several of my friends are also your fans, because of you, they also want to take the USC exam with me, and they will go crazy later...... By the way, I heard you don't have a girlfriend yet? I have a sister who is very beautiful, I introduce you to you, it's righteous enough! β
Anna couldn't stand it anymore and complained: "Didn't you keep saying that your sister was ugly before?" She is so beautiful, you actually say that she is ugly, she deserves to be beaten from childhood to adulthood. β
Li Ao: (. -οΌΏ-γ )
Who to trust?
Li Ao thought about it, let's believe that she is a beauty.
After all, in the eyes of her younger brother, her sister is all ugly and ugly.
"You talk nonsense!" Joshua patted his chest and said loudly: "My sister is a super beauty in my mind, with a sexy and hot body, a superstar of tomorrow in Hollywood!" Good acting skills and good personality, the most perfect woman! β
Li Ao looked at the door open a few meters in front of him......
彑(-_-; 彑
He remembered that Anna seemed to have said that the sister of this somewhat wise fan was an actress.
Originally, he was still a little disinterested, and he lost his interest in the moment.
Joshua's voice entered the villa without any suspense, and when her sister heard this, she knew that the legendary 'mysterious guest' had arrived.
She was very satisfied with her brother's performance today, and wondered who the 'mystery guest' was, so she came to the door.
Li Ao happened to walk up the steps.
When the two saw each other, both pairs of big eyes blinked quickly a few times, thinking they were dazzled.
After staring at each other for two seconds, the two shouted in unison, "Why are you here!" β
β¦
I was wrong, I was really wrong, why did I want to save face for my brother, why was my brother's vanity burst because he said that his classmates liked her...... Are you going to have a birthday party for this brother who hasn't been killed yet?
Thinking of this, Jessica looked at the beautiful woman sitting next to Li Ao, no wonder she was not interested in her and disliked her.
I don't know why, she felt angry inexplicably.
But with so many people watching, the roar of the two of them when they entered the door attracted the attention of their younger brothers, classmates and friends...... Don't lose your etiquette!
Jessica smiled at a business event and said, "Leo, don't you want your girlfriend to introduce me?" β
Vivian, who was eating melons, was stunned for a moment, waved her hand in front of Li Ao and said, "No, no, I'm not his girlfriend." β
Vivian didn't expect that the beautiful actress that Li Ao picked up and brought home was actually the sister of her neighbor's sister's boyfriend.
Coincidentally, isn't it!
I heard Anna say that Joshua and his sister, although they show their sexy side on TV, movies, and magazines, their tutoring is extremely strict, and they wear pants but no more than their knees in private, and their tops block all the grooves, and they are completely like two people on and off the screen.
It was also the first time she saw Jessica Alba, looking at the conservative dress of the other party's sweater + jeans, what Anna said should be true.
In this case, if Leo likes this kid, it's not impossible to find an actor as a girlfriend!
This look, this figure, is barely worthy of her Leo.
However, her answer made Jessica stunned.
Not a girlfriend?
At this time, Jessica noticed that the beautiful woman looked at her, and the look she looked at Anna was similar to ......
"Aunt Vivian, you can't give me a face, pretend to be my girlfriend!" Li Ao rolled his eyes and complained, and said to Jessica, "Her name is Vivian, my teacher, assistant to the dean, and the place where you lived that day was her house." β
However, these words made Jessica break the defense on the spot: "Auntie? Such a beautiful and sexy sister, you call her aunt? Do you have to call me Auntie too? β
"I've always called her Auntie, right, Aunt Vivien." Li Ao didn't know why, this is the first time someone has questioned this matter.
"Hmm...... No, no, Jessica, I call you that, right? If you don't like it, he's not allowed to call me that now! β
Vivian said and pushed Li Ao away, and squeezed her eyebrows at Li Ao.
Li Ao:( Μ- Μ)
Vivien: (.) Ε_Ε)
This aunt, no, it's a teacher, it's not right...... Sister, this sister, what seems wrong?
Vivien's eyes were so good that Jessica felt weird.
For some reason, she felt relieved.
This sister's dress seems ordinary, but as a child star, she has seen a lot and can see that every dress is very expensive, and standard clothes set off her beauty, rather than letting others notice how beautiful the clothes are.
Rich woman + big beauty + good figure, still a sister, the lethality to men is too great.
Compare it with such a sister...... She felt like she was going to hit the streets.
She looked away at Li Ao - no wonder I saw that a big beauty like me would be disgusted because of some misunderstandings, and I was used to seeing beautiful women.
However, she thinks it's not bad, at least this guy won't see a beautiful woman and be abducted.
Wait, she woke up - what do I care about?
Someone wants to kidnap her, what's my business!
Li Ao was speechless here, ready to find a topic to divert everyone's attention, which would affect the birthday of the high school student, although Joshua's eyes were more fiery when he looked at him than Vivian looked at Jessica...... It doesn't matter, it's the birthday of the fans that is the number one priority.
Liam on the side was not happy, no one seemed to look at him from the moment he entered the door, and he was too handsome!
Liam took the initiative to get up and said to Jessica: "I didn't have time to introduce myself last time we met, I'm Leo's good brother, my name is Liam, I like your movies very much, your acting skills are fantastic." β
"I'm Jessica Alba, thank you so much for your support, I'll keep working hard." Jessica politely stood up and shook Liam's hand gently, officially answering Liam's nonsense.
Someone finally broke the awkward atmosphere, she turned to her brother and said, "Joshua, why hasn't the cake been delivered yet?" β
Joshua, who was eating melons, was suddenly called by his name, startled, and hurriedly responded: "...... at 5 o'clock"
"Didn't deliver it and you don't know how to pick it up yourself?"
"I ......"
"You what you! Just go! I'm not going to beat you up! β
"I can't drive......"
"Can't drive, don't you have feet?"
Seeing that his sister was getting more and more irritable, Joshua hurried away and ran to the dessert house nearly two miles away.
Running on the road in the afternoon, the tears of the birthday star are flying - why was I the last to be injured?
On the other hand, after being angry with her brother, Jessica's mood instantly became a lot more beautiful.
As for losing her image in front of high school students who are rumored to be her fans...... It doesn't matter, there is a 'nephew' who dislikes her.
She said to Li Ao and the others: "I'll go to the kitchen to help first, you don't have to be polite, just like your own home." β
After saying that, she smiled and nodded at Vivian, who was eating melons, and turned to go to the direction of the kitchen.
Or look at the beauty pleasing to the eye.
Ignoring Liam, who had turned gray on the side, Vivian pushed up at Li Ao: "Stupid, go and help?" β
Li Ao: γ½(γ _Β°)γ
Seeing that Li Ao was confused, Vivian suddenly remembered that this kid didn't seem to be very interested in actresses, and she seemed to have said before that she shouldn't look for someone in the entertainment industry.
The excitement gradually subsided, and she found that she seemed to be in a hurry to eat melons.
It's only the first time she's met Jessica, and she doesn't know what kind of person the other party is, and there must be a filter in Anna's mouth.
However, the impression of the first meeting was good, so it is okay to try to get in touch with it.
If it doesn't work, pull it down, and it's not the boys who suffer, just do a good job of safety measures.
decided, she changed her words: "You go and cook a few dishes that I like to eat." β
"Someone else's birthday, I'm going to cook, okay? Aunt Vivien, they're going to think I think they're not hospitable, and I'll do it for you when I get back? β
"I want to eat it right now...... No, wait, I think individual reasons...... Ahem, it's your fan's birthday, and you need to help him cook a few dishes to thank him for his support! β
