The work on the ranch is almost done, and Old Thomas pays attention to the new TL gray cattle several times a day, always keeping track of the movements of these cattle, and even drives them into the fence at night, like treasures
After being coaxed, he actually had the thought to give each cow a name. After branding it, he basically had to get up twice every night to look at it. His concern for the cows even touched Ju An. I guess he cared about his wife when he was young.
None of them care that much.
As soon as Lu Guangyuan and his wife came to hold the puppy, Ju An received a call from Wang Fan. Wei Dong and his wife were coming tomorrow. Ju An also started to pack his things and prepare to fly to New York in the afternoon.
Take a look at Wang Fan's new home. The next day, he can go to meet the two newlyweds who gave away money in Paris. He arranged the things at hand and handed the two birds and the mountain lion to Da Zhuang.
Staring, he sent Thomas to the airport, and Ju An boarded the flight to New York.
Just after exiting the airport passage, I glanced around and saw a big sign with my name written on it. Behind the sign, Wang Fan, wearing sunglasses, a white shirt and trousers, was waving to Ju An.
, Ju An smiled and walked over and hugged Wang Fan.
Wang Fan picked up his luggage and said that it was just a small soft cloth bag with some changes of clothes in it. It didn't weigh much. Ju An smiled and said to Wang Fan: "I thought it was just big pants and a plaid shirt again, but now
I dress up like a white-collar worker, which is good, and my image immediately improved a lot."
Wang Fan replied with a smile: "Korra chose it. She said that the way I dressed at home was like I was on vacation in Hawaii, and it was a bit weird to wear it in New York."
"Damn! Your hands are so fast. You got the female police officer home in just a few days. I thought it would take at least two months to make any progress. What you just said was like me showing off my girlfriend's strength." Ju
An teased.
Wang Fan said proudly: "As the saying goes, a good woman is afraid of pestering her husband, it has been applicable to all times and in all countries. My brother understands this very well and used some tricks to win her over."
Ju An joked: "Damn! When you say that, I remember the scene when you were handcuffed and dragged into the police station. It was really funny."
Wang Fan's pride was instantly suppressed. The two of them walked and chatted like this, and after a while they arrived at the parking lot. When Ju An saw that Wang Fan's car was actually a second-hand Ford, he said strangely: "These days
"I see, your inner state has improved a lot. You even thought about buying a second-hand car. I thought you would at least get your favorite Audi."
Wang Fan touched his head in embarrassment when he heard this: "I did buy an Audi station wagon, but it was taken away by Cora today. The car will be repaired today. She asked me to pick up the car for her in the morning. I will pick it up for her today."
I just had to drive it."
Giving Wang Fan the middle finger, Ju An got into the passenger seat. Wang Fan got into the car, swung Ju An's bag back and started the car.
Ten minutes after leaving the airport, they arrived at Wang Fan's house. Wang Fan stopped the car in front of the garage. Ju An walked out and saw that the good guy was taller than his ranch house, with blue-gray eaves and white walls.
In front of the house is a large lawn with a swimming pool of 20 to 30 square meters.
When Wang Fan parked the car and came out with Ju An's bag, Ju An said to Wang Fan: "Good guy, it looks bigger than the house on my ranch. Can you two live in such a big house?"
.
Wang Fan said with a smile: "It looks bigger, but it's really not as big as your house. Your house is large and empty, so it seems small. My third floor only has five bedrooms and four bathrooms. I originally planned to
I wanted to buy a smaller one, but after asking around, there was no one available. The agent said that the school district and some public facilities here are very good, so I bought it.”
Ju An followed Wang Fan into the house and looked at the decoration in the house carefully. The decoration was still very stylish, not very luxurious but very tasteful, with light-colored floors, light-colored ceilings, and some oil paintings hanging on the white walls.
, Wang Fan took Ju An upstairs and opened a
He walked into the bedroom and carried Ju An's luggage in. Ju An took a look at it. There was a large bed with light flower bed sheets. There was a TV hanging on the wall. The plain wallpaper looked simple and elegant, with a touch of gold.
I went into the bathroom and took a look. I had all the toothpaste, toothbrush, etc. ready for me.
After putting the luggage next to the bed, Ju An followed Wang Fan downstairs and into the living room. There were several dark black sofas facing a fireplace. Wang Fan got Ju An a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, and then the two
The two of us sat on the sofa and started chatting.
Wang Fan took a sip of beer and asked, "How about things going well at your ranch?"
Ju An nodded and said: "Not bad, a large number of cattle have been brought in. Now there are more than 30,000 cattle in the ranch, and the manpower has also increased a lot, including more than 20 cowboys."
Wang Fan said with a smile: "I think it would be better for you to engage in tourism. When the time comes, let Wu Ming directly contact people in China to come to your ranch. It will be such an easy job. You just can't think of it."
"I'm a lot of trouble. It's better to raise some cattle and sheep and so on. You don't have to face so many people. By the way, when you come to the United States, Wu Ming will take care of domestic affairs. You must be too hands-off and let others do the burdensome work."
You are really cunning," Ju An said teasingly.
Wang Fan said with a smile: "I'm not just eating and drinking here for free. I'm also planning to open a trading company here, which is to make some money by trading things from the United States and China. Not only did I just invest in a company to hire
A few people are getting ready to spread their arms and start fucking."
"This trade is not easy to do. I met two people doing domestic and foreign trade at a dinner party, both of whom were Chinese," Ju An said after thinking for a while.
"Whoever dumps those things, they usually dump toys, towels, clothes, etc. What I dump are all big items, small machines, larger factory machine tools, etc." Wang Fan said.
Ju An was a little worried: "You have to be careful. This old American thinks that everything is a treasure. Even a rag is a rag and wants to be sold to you as high technology. If you mess around, maybe the FBI will come to you for tea one day.
”.
Wang Fan smiled and patted Ju An on the shoulder: "I'm not a spy. I just want to develop high-tech things. There is no need for me in the country. The big companies in the United States are almost red-eyed and looking at Germany.
From time to time, France exports some things to make money, and I can only watch. I just dump some machines and other things to act as an agent. It is not illegal for civilians to use them, and I am not stupid. If I dump those things, how dare I live in the United States?"
The two talked for a while, and it was time for dinner. Ju An looked at his watch and joked to Wang Fan: "Why isn't Cora here yet? I'm waiting for her to cook."
Wang Fan was stunned when he heard this: "Why does Cora cook? She is not staying here today. If she wants to have dinner, we can handle it ourselves."
Ju An looked at Wang Fan and said with a smile: "Damn! Why did I ask you to come here earlier? It turns out you want me to cook. Aren't you and Cora already living in bed together? Why are you still living separately? I still
I thought you were living together."
"That's what I mean. It's not like you don't know, old beauty, sleeping with you is one thing, but moving in with you is another matter. Cora only comes to stay occasionally now, or I go to her There, because she heard that you were coming over, she won't come over today and asked me to catch up on old times. She will come over after get off work tomorrow night to meet Wei Dong and his wife," Wang Fan explained.
"To talk about old times with your sister, you have to move next door to my house to talk about old times." After saying that, Ju An had no choice but to stand up, walk to the kitchen, look at what was in the refrigerator, and make enough food and clothing by himself.
They made three or four dishes at random, Wang Fan cut some cold vegetables, and some salted duck eggs bought from the Chinese supermarket. The two of them made some wine, and the time passed quickly while they ate and chatted, waiting for the two of them to drink.
By the time they arrived at the hotel, the two of them drank a little more than a pound of liquor and then wandered upstairs to their rooms to rest.
The two of them spent most of the next day doing nothing. They went to the airport again in the afternoon and took Wei Dong and his wife, who were carrying several bags of various sizes, to Wang Fan's residence.
Wei Dong and his wife got out of the car, put down their luggage, and visited Wang Fan's house. As soon as they sat on the sofa in the living room, they praised: "Not bad, this single-family house actually has a swimming pool. It cost a lot."
Money."
Wang Fan smiled and said: "A total of six to seven million US dollars was spent."
Wei Dong nodded and said, "That's not expensive. It's such a big house with a lawn and a swimming pool. How much did it cost to decorate it?"
"It's all been renovated, and even the decoration cost RMB 600,000 to 700,000," Wang Fan explained with a smile.
Wei Dong's wife also nodded and said: "That's really not expensive. It's only about 4 million yuan for a joint venture. This price is just enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment in Haishi."
Ju An explained with a smile: "You don't have to spend money to buy this house. You have to pay property tax every day. I don't know how much it is in New York. It's usually one to three percent. You have to pay it every year."
Yes, my place has to pay hundreds of thousands of taxes a year. This is fixed, although it varies from state to state, but it can’t be saved.”
Wang Fan said with a wry smile: "New York's tax rate is 3%, the highest in the United States. New York's taxes are also the highest in the United States. I have to pay more than 20,000 US dollars a year for this house, and there are various miscellaneous expenses that add up to 3%."
A little over ten thousand dollars."
Wei Dong said: "This means that it is cheap to buy a house here in the United States, but expensive to maintain a house. This house costs more than 200,000 yuan a year, which is really a lot. In ten years, it will cost more than 2 million yuan."
It’s not cheap either.”
Ju An said with a smile: "Don't be sad. Comrade Bill Gai's house in Washington State has to pay more than one million U.S. dollars in real estate tax alone every year. If you think about it, you will feel balanced."
Wang Fan laughed and scolded: "How can these two houses be compared? I guess most of them don't even have their own movie theater. You are a bit lazy."
