Chapter 87 Butterfly

After receiving the call on Sunday, part-time real estate agent (still Jenny's best friend) drove to the farm for two hours and felt incomprehensible about the quirk of the rich - buying a farm in the city and a house in the city.

Well, the client is God. Everything is for the transaction fee.

Buying a house is not about renting a house, as long as you can live in it, because it is a house you bought for Ye Zi, so the focus is on the opinions of Ye Zi’s guardian, the aunt. As for Ye Zi’s opinions, they don’t even need to refer to them.

My aunt has always regarded saving as a virtue, especially since I heard that two percent of the property tax in Nevada is paid every year and forever. Nevada's state commercial tax is very low, and it is even called the duty-free paradise for American companies. Many American companies like to come here to register. However, the property tax is directly in line with California.

In fact, real estate tax is not the highest in the United States. The highest is the inheritance tax. The US inheritance tax has been levied for more than US$650,000, and the progressive tax system reaches a maximum of 65%.

Now I understand why the richest man in the United States said that he donated the software company to the country before he died. Even if he didn't donate it, the tax bureau would take away two-thirds of it after he died.

The problem is that he is smart. He donated a lot of money to his wife's fund from a very early age - the fund is tax-free. As the fund manager and beneficiary, his wife and children will have no worries.

In this way, when he is dying, he can donate the company that owes a lot of debt to the US government - although he owes a lot of debt, he is still a benign asset.

This doesn't matter to Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng's idea is that I won't die even if I drag it to the United States.

Because you want to buy a house in a wealthy area with good education quality, real estate agents recommend houses worth more than 100,000 US dollars.

My aunt chose a house worth 140,000 US dollars for two bedrooms and two bathrooms. After seeing it, Zhang Cheng only gave a comment: "How can people live in a house worth more than 100,000 yuan?"

The real estate agent who was tasting the rabbit pad was about to cry. He lived in a house bought with a mortgage loan of more than 100,000 US dollars. It turned out that I was not a human being. Yes, I was 99%, and the Chinese rich man in front of me was that one percent.

My aunt at home almost obeyed Zhang Cheng and immediately changed into a house worth 229,000 US dollars and said, "It is located in the northwest of Reno. The house was well maintained in 2005, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Here is the snowy snow in the Sierra Nevada and the magnificent views of the valley. You will definitely choose him after seeing it, and it is him. Hardwood floors, granite countertops, high ceilings, gas fireplaces... The walk-in closet in the master bedroom... I think this house is good. The inside and outside view is good. Besides, what to do with such an expensive house, the burden is still high."

Zhang Cheng's comment on this place is: "It's just barely possible to live in. How about the nearby schools?"

Real estate agent: "A better middle school than here can only go to private high schools. The down payment for mortgages here is 20%..."

Zhang Cheng immediately interrupted the real estate agent's long-term words: "When did I borrow money from buying something? It's only more than 200,000 yuan, I'll buy it in full."

Real estate agents burst into tears: Chinese rich people really love and hate.

Zhang Cheng showed Ye Zi the photo of the house: "How do you think here?"

Ye Zi held the baby with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes were like a young wife: "Mom said it would be OK, I have no objection at all."

Zhang Cheng said to the real estate economy: "That's nothing wrong. Go check the house tomorrow Monday afternoon, you have prepared the documents, and I will call a lawyer to sign and transfer the property together."

After seeing off the real estate agent, Zhang Cheng said to his aunt: "Auntie, ride a horse."

When my aunt heard this, she suddenly knelt on the ground, supported her body with her hands and knees and asked, "How is that?"

Zhang Cheng: "Okay, I admit that this funny point is really a bit high. Ye Zi, go and lead the horse."

"Oh." Ye Zi responded, stepped forward and grabbed his aunt's collar and asked, "Master, should you take it to the bedroom or the bathroom?"

Zhang Cheng corrected: "Go to the stable to lead the horses."

Ye Zi: "Master, don't, the handsome guy Mike chose is too big, we are afraid we can't stand it."

Zhang Cheng corrected again: "Go to the stable to pull Jenny, Betty, Rose comes, let's go riding a horse. OK?"

My aunt and Ye Zi looked at each other: It turned out that it was not a shameful game. Ye Zi immediately went to the stable to lead the horse, and my aunt got up in panic and pretended to have nothing to do.

On Monday, I can’t move in because I haven’t bought some electrical appliances yet. The rented houses have electrical appliances because they are so easy to rent. The houses I sell have few electrical appliances. I have to buy them all except for the meter and light bulb.

The neighbors here are much better than those in the previous neighborhoods where they rented houses. Their previous neighbors were either Mexican immigrants who had no fixed jobs or blue-collar construction workers. The people living here were generally white-collar workers, as well as farmers, ranchers or small businessmen who bought houses in the city to get a better education for their children.

Tuesday, philosophy class.

The professor didn't know what happened today, and talked about the example of the butterfly effect in real life.

The philosophy professor likes Chinese students very much, and Zhang Cheng was also named and talked about the butterfly effect that has occurred in real life.

Zhang Cheng thought for a moment and said: "There was a minister in ancient China. He was shocked when he saw the king making a pair of ivory chopsticks. When he got home, the minister told his family that this country was about to perish. Let's move and leave here as soon as possible.

The family asked him what was wrong. He talked about the king making ivory chopsticks for dinner. The family didn't understand. What happened to the king of a country using a pair of chopsticks? What does this have to do with the destruction of the country?

This minister told his family that if one person eats with ivory chopsticks, would he still use clay bowls? No, he must change to a golden bowl and jade plate. Can he still serve crude food in the golden bowl and jade plate? No, he will definitely eat delicacies. If one person eats delicacies by the golden bowl and jade plate, would he still sit under the thatched room like before? No, he must build a gorgeous palace and fill it with a large number of young and beautiful palace maids. Then he collects rare treasures from all over the world to decorate his palace warehouse.

If this continues, the country will be destroyed. I am worried about his ending and afraid of his beginning."

The professor said: "It's very good. Can I ask the name of this ancient Chinese philosopher?"

Zhang Cheng: "Jizi, he and his family chose to leave when the country was in turmoil. They settled on the Korean Peninsula more than 3,000 years ago and were also the founder of Jizi North Korea."

Professor: "It's very, very good. I often tell myself that the minds of Chinese people are filled with wisdom and will always give me some surprises. Today I didn't disappoint me. Today's homework is to read a Chinese philosophical classic called "Tao Te Ching". Don't worry, there is an English version. Then write a paper within four weeks and hand it over and let you go. Don't worry, the article has not been long, only a few thousand words. Hahahahaha, get out of class is over."

After listening to the professor's words, Zhang Cheng blew out his mouthful of blood in his heart: Just a book with such a profound Tao Te Ching, if you let this group of people who can barely understand Ma Zhe read it, then you will play with them.

What is the Tao Te Ching? Zhang Cheng knew that it was Lao Tzu, the administrator of the Zhou Dynasty's National Library, who understood the formation of the universe and the worldview, condensed into a text version of thousands of words. If the Tao Te Ching could be easily understood, it would be easy to kill Einstein and Hawking with IQ.

After class, a classmate immediately came to Zhang Cheng: "Do you have that book?"

"The only thing that's certain is that I don't have an English version."

"Oh." A sigh.
Chapter completed!
