After riding all the way to the destination, Yi Feiyang got out of the car and took a relaxing stroll near Hollywood.
Not far ahead is the famous shopping area in this area, which mainly sells high-end consumer goods, most of which are imported brands from France and Italy, and has become an indicator of Hollywood fashion trends. In addition to most of the high-end places where money is spent, here
There is also the Avenue of Stars that attracts the world’s attention.
This is a sidewalk stretching along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in the United States. It has more than 2,000 star-shaped medals with the names of celebrities 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. However, many foreign tourists who came to the "Avenue of Fame" for the first time believe that it does not have the Hollywood style they imagined, and there are often beggars and various vendors.
And the cleanliness is poor.
However, according to Yifeiyang's perspective, this is a good place for walking and leisure, because you can more clearly see the "true face" of Hollywood behind the prosperity.
Yi Feiyang was walking on the Avenue of Stars while looking at the scenery on the side of the road and looking for real estate companies here. He did not use his company's connections, except for the purpose of relaxing, just to fully experience the fun of finding a house on his own.
In his previous life, he was a person with no fixed abode. He always wanted to have his own house and live a stable life. The reality in this life allowed it, so he naturally thought about this wish.
After wandering on the street for a while, I finally saw a real estate agency at a corner. Yi Feiyang opened the door and walked in. In this small agency, there was a white aunt in her 40s sitting there.
Sitting on the chair watching the talk show on the TV.
Seeing the guests coming, the white aunt turned her eyes away from the TV. She stood up and greeted Yi Feiyang: "Hi, young man, can I help you with anything?"
Yi Feiyang nodded slightly to the white aunt and politely stated his purpose: "Hello, I'm looking for a house. I don't know if you have anything suitable here."
"Ha, you look like a student. Are you coming here to study? Then what kind of house do you need to rent? You don't know, I like you young students the most. Our Jack is also going to school.
..." The white aunt smiled and said, "Also, let me guess, you are Chinese, right?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Yi Feiyang was surprised. Could it be that this white aunt, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, recognized her a long time ago?
"Ha, needless to say, those Korean and Japanese students will not come here to rent a house. It's too expensive, they can't afford it! Only you Chinese students like to live in such high-end areas.
Sometimes I wonder, is China richer than Japan and South Korea?!"
After hearing this, Yi Feiyang blushed.
Those who are able to come to the United States to study are not the second generation of rich people or the second generation of officials. Their families are either rich or powerful. Of course, they want to save face and like to live in high-end communities. Of course, it cannot be said that they are all, there are still most Chinese
International students are very diligent in work-study studies, and some second-generation officials and second-generation rich people also understand that "you have to rely on yourself".
In fact, the early Chinese students who studied in the United States gave people a very good impression. They were hard-working and full of fighting spirit. Just like the opening of a popular Chinese TV series said, "If you love someone, send him to New York, because
That's heaven; if you hate someone, send him to New York, because that's hell." This sentence explains everything.
Seeing that Yi Feiyang shut up after hearing what he said, the enthusiastic white aunt continued to chatter: "Oh, by the way, tell me, dear Chinese friend, what are your requirements, such as the height of the floor and the size of the area?
There are also various aspects such as environmental sanitation, transportation, etc. As long as you bring it up, I will try my best to satisfy you and help you find a suitable one. Yes, I promise God that my service will be absolutely first-class!"
Seeing that Yi Feiyang was young, the white aunt mistook him for a student who was still in school, but she guessed wrongly about Yi Feiyang's purpose. Yi Feiyang was basically buying a house, not renting it.
"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
He looks too young now, and he came alone. Not many people at his age here buy a house by themselves.
"Oh God, did I hear you correctly?" The white aunt exclaimed in surprise, "You mean, you came here to buy a house?"
"Yes." Yi Feiyang nodded firmly.
After confirming that she heard correctly, the white aunt looked wrong, "Dear, do you know that the house prices here... are very expensive..." It's not that the white aunt looked down on Yi Feiyang, she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to afford so much money.
, but reminded him, fearing that he didn’t know the house prices here and ran over rashly.
Yi Feiyang raised the corner of his mouth and smiled confidently, "Of course, I know this too."
"Okay then, 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 she quickly apologized. In fact, these places
It mainly provides more rental information. To sell a house, you usually go directly to the sales point specially set up by the real estate developer. If you can sell the house here, you can get a fee that far exceeds the fee of the rental agency.
"I want a ready-made house. It doesn't matter what the decoration is, but the house can't be too small. It needs to be in this area. The traffic conditions nearby should be better. Well, it's better to have good lighting and so on. I don't know where you are.
Are there any suitable houses for sale?”
Yi Feiyang directly stated his request. Although it seemed rather wordy, he still put it forward shamelessly. He was not afraid that the white aunt in front of him would find him annoying. If the aunt found a suitable house according to his request,
, that is definitely a large amount of income, and it is also the place where he will always live in the future. Yi Feiyang does not want to treat himself badly.
"Oh. I understand. Yes. I understand. Let me see first if there is any building that is particularly suitable for you." Upon hearing Yi Feiyang's request, the white aunt immediately pulled out the information and started searching. Because Yi Feiyang
Feiyang requested a relatively high-end residence, so there was not a lot of information. The white aunt read through the information quickly.
"Does it have to be a building? Is it an independent two-story Western-style house?" Not finding the building Yi Feiyang mentioned, the white aunt asked a question.
"A small independent villa?" Yi Feiyang thought for a moment and agreed: "As long as 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 wants to immigrate to another place. We need to deal with it urgently. Maybe we can give you a very favorable price."
"Thank you very much. Please give me a call." Yi Feiyang said, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
The white aunt picked up the phone, dialed the number, and called.
After a while, the call was answered.
"Yes, there is a young man who wants to buy your house, not to rent it, but to buy it!"
"What? The price can't be cheap, this..." The white aunt glanced at Yi Feiyang, who nodded and smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as the location is good and the environment is good."
The white aunt continued to call, "The young man said that the price is easy to negotiate, um, yes, he is..." It seemed that the phone asked about Yi Feiyang's race, "He is Chinese." The white aunt was very sincere.
explain.
There was an immediate change on the other end of the phone. The voice was so loud that even Yi Feiyang could hear it. He said on the other end of the phone: "Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier? I hate those Chinese people the most. They are rude and...
I don't pay attention to hygiene. When I rented my house before, I made a mess! God, even if I can't sell it, I won't sell it to the Chinese!"
The white aunt looked very embarrassed. She did not expect that the homeowner would have such low-level thoughts and such strong racial discrimination.
The white aunt looked at Yi Feiyang and was too embarrassed to speak, but she still said: "I'm sorry, dear, there's nothing I can do. The landlord seems a little reluctant to sell the house..."
Yi Feiyang was suffocating his anger, wishing he could get through the phone and kick that bastard, but he still suppressed his hot temper and smiled and said: "This is not your fault, madam, you have done your best, haven't you?
"
"How about I look for you again and see if there is a building suitable for you?" The white aunt felt very sorry for Yi Feiyang. Of course, she couldn't let go of the agency fee.
Yi Feiyang shook his head, "Thank you very much, I'd better look at other places." After saying that, he left.
The white aunt hurriedly took out a business card and said: "Hey, here is a business card for a big real estate agency nearby. You can go there and have a look. Believe me, you will definitely be able to find a house that suits you!"
Faced with the enthusiasm of the white aunt, Yi Feiyang was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to take the business card and thank her again.
After leaving this company, Yi Feiyang looked for it according to the address on the business card. It was not far ahead, which saved a lot of legwork.
The white aunt is right. This real estate agency is much larger and more luxurious. There are also welcoming ladies with smiling faces at the door of the company. A white girl and a black girl stand at the door to complement each other.
Yi Feiyang came here on foot, and was dressed very ordinary. He didn't look like a wealthy person, a tycoon, or an upper-class person at all. Even the watch on his wrist, anyone with a little knowledge of the market could tell that it belonged to a street vendor.
Cheap stuff.
Alas, there is no way. As the most famous area in Los Angeles, the Hollywood area basically represents prosperity and luxury. No matter how poor people are, they always try to make themselves look brighter and brighter.
Therefore, when Yi Feiyang stood at the door of the real estate company, he did not attract the attention of the beauties "Black and White" at all, as if he was an insignificant person who existed or not.
On the contrary, while Yifeiyang stopped to look at the majestic facade of the real estate company, a luxurious BMW car parked at the door of the real estate company. Two people got out of the car, all wearing gold and silver. One was a white man with a big belly.
, one is a blond beauty dressed coquettishly.
"Oh, dear, do you really want to rent me a nice apartment?" the blonde beauty said coquettishly, nestling in the fat man's arms.
"Of course, dear. This way we can see each other often. Ha. Do you know how much I love you? If I don't see you for a day, my whole heart will be thinking about you!" The fat man said it disgustingly.
Fat lips arched the blonde beauty's face.
"Welcome, sir, please come in!" The black and white pair made a loud welcome voice, inviting the fat white man and the blonde beauty to come in together.
The fat white man glanced at Yi Feiyang proudly, then hugged the blonde beauty and walked in swaggeringly; behind him, Yi Feiyang followed, but was stopped by the black girl. "Sorry, sir, this is a real estate company...
…”
"Yes, I know this is a real estate company, and I'm here to look at houses." Yi Feiyang said while suppressing his anger.
"Looking at the house?" The two women looked at Yi Feiyang suspiciously, but were startled by Yi Feiyang's sharp eyes. Why was this man's eyes so scary? They shuddered and said hurriedly: "Then go in.
Wish you good luck, sir." Then he let me go.
Yi Feiyang snorted coldly. He walked into this grand-looking real estate company, and the staff inside were very enthusiastic... very enthusiastic towards the fat white man and blonde beauty who had just entered. All he saw was a skinny agent nodding and bowing to him.
, smiling faces constantly, introducing the properties they rent.
Yi Feiyang came in, but no one paid attention to him. Yes, basically no one thought he existed.
There was no other way, so Yi Feiyang had no choice but to walk up to a young lady who was applying nail polish and said, "Sorry to bother you, I want to..."
Before Yi Feiyang could finish what he said, the lady shouted to the skinny guy: "Oliver, there is another customer here!" Then she immersed herself in applying her nail polish.
The skinny "Oliver" was spitting at the fat man when he was suddenly interrupted. He couldn't help but glance at Yi Feiyang and said, "You didn't see what I was busy with. Let him wait a moment."
"
"Sorry, Oliver is busy, please wait for a while!" the girl applying nail polish said without looking up.
Yi Feiyang became angry, and then shouted wildly: "Are all the people here dead?!"
Crazy! Proud!
The entire sales department was shocked.
A young-looking real estate agent next to him hesitated for a moment when he saw Yi Feiyang yelling. Finally, he came forward enthusiastically and helped pour a cup of coffee. "Hello, sir, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Please
Coffee first."
Yi Feiyang exhaled and asked in a grand manner: "What's your name?"
The young real estate agent said a little awkwardly: "You can call me 'York'. I have only been here three days and I am a newcomer."
Yi Feiyang understands what the so-called "newcomers" mean, that is, they don't 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 general introduction to the situation here, which you can use as a reference." York summoned up the courage to say, to be honest, he has been here for three days and has suffered a lot from these old agents.
They made things difficult and looked down upon, and even refused to let him contact those wealthy customers. And those big customers didn't like a young guy like York very much, thinking that he had little experience and was difficult to trust.
In the United States, trust is 100% important. It is more important than talent and talent. It is a necessary condition for accumulating connections and expanding your career. It can be said that trust is a disguised communication pass. As long as you can be trusted by others,
Trust, then there is nothing you can’t do!
Seeing this young agent volunteering to introduce a house to him, Yi Feiyang frowned and said, "Okay, York, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Haha, no trouble, no trouble at all." York was very happy to see Yi Feiyang believe in him so much.
Not far away, Oliver, who was showing the house to the fat man, couldn't help but sneered when he heard that the new guy was recommending a house to this poor-looking Chinese man. "What an idiot. It's weird that such a guy can afford to rent a house."
Woolen cloth!"
Normally, Oliver would definitely kick York aside and take away customers, but 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 each property here. After all, he was a newcomer, so some places were inevitably unclear, so he called and asked directly. As for Yi Feiyang,
It can be considered as a home service.
Over there, the fat white man was showing off to his agent Oliver, saying that this was not good and that was not good, which made the "skinny" Oliver wipe his sweat with a handkerchief, thinking to himself, it's bad luck. Encountering such a difficult situation.
The guy who serves.
"Sir, this is already the best villa we have here. Yes, I can guarantee God, it is absolutely the best. Whether it is the environment or supporting facilities, it is the best in this area!" Oliver said with all his heart.
Recommended to others.
The fat white man raised his face and said, "Really, is it really as good as you say?"
"Yes, if you read it, I guarantee you will be satisfied...but the rent is a little more expensive..."
"How much more expensive?"
"It takes at least 20,000 US dollars a year!"
"Ah, it's so expensive." The fat white man's face drooped.
The blond beauty next to her hooked the fat man's shoulders and said coquettishly: "What's your price? I think it's pretty good. My dear, don't you love me anymore?"
"Oh, my dear, how can you say that? It's just that the damn house price is too...too high." The fat man was so stunned that he couldn't speak clearly.
Agent Oliver apologized and laughed. "In fact, it's not expensive. Compared with similar products, there is a lot of room for appreciation."
"What are you talking about, idiot? I'm renting a house, not buying a house!"
"Oh yes, yes, I'm sorry, but this house is really worth the money!" Oliver said as politely as possible.
"Tch, it's all what you said. God only knows if you are fooling me!" the fat white man said disdainfully.
"What an idiot!" Yi Feiyang couldn't help but say, and then said to the fat man: "Man, this villa is definitely worth the money. Whether it is the environment or supporting facilities, it should be one of the best in the area. Well, one year
Rent of 20,000 yuan is not expensive at all.”
The fat white man laughed, "Damn it, who are you? You dare to call me an idiot? How can you speak here? Besides, how do you know whether the price is right or not? Do you think you are in the same group?"
Seeing Yi Feiyang dressed in ordinary clothes, Fatty 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 here to see the house." Yi Feiyang raised his eyebrows.
"Ha, you're the one who comes to see the house? I thought you were here to apply for a job as a security guard! 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 not a small person like you can rent it?
It's affordable, so I advise you to go further away and visit, for example, those dirty residential areas for international students and old areas with dirty and bad environment. Maybe they will slap you because you are Chinese.
A discount!”
Facing the fat man's ridicule, Yi Feiyang was not angry. He just said coldly to his agent York: "I like his house. I wonder if you can transfer it to me?"
"This... I can help you inquire." York was overjoyed, and then asked the fat man politely: "Excuse me, sir, do you still want to rent? If not, the gentleman next to me is very interested...
…”
"Tch, why don't I rent? It's only 20,000 US dollars a year, and I can still afford it!" The fat man pretended to hold up the coffee and said coaxingly.
"Sorry, I mean, I want to buy this villa!" Yi Feiyang added coldly.
Phew!
The fat man spit out a sip of coffee, which hit the unlucky Oliver's face, "What did you say? You want to buy it?!" The fat on his face trembled, looking like he was in disbelief.
The unlucky Oliver didn't even bother to wipe the water stains on his face. "Yes, that's a villa worth 580,000 US dollars!" He only had to say, "Can you afford such a big price?"
Yi Feiyang ignored these two guys at all, turned to newcomer York and said, "If there is no problem, can I pay by check?"
York was still in a "dreaming" state. He originally thought that Yi Feiyang was going to rent this villa, so he could get a commission of several hundred dollars, but he didn't expect that he would buy it at a fixed price!
What is this concept?
This means that you can get commissions of more than thousands of yuan or even tens of thousands of dollars at once!
"God, you are so kind, I love you so much!" York shouted in his heart.
Oliver also came back to his senses. First he was envious and jealous of York. Then he rolled his eyes and was about to kick the unlucky York away. "Ah, dear sir, York is not interested in this villa."
You know me too well, why don’t you let me introduce it to you?”
A 180-degree change, from being dismissive before to being respectful now, no, it should be said to be flattering.
Yi Feiyang smiled coldly and said: "That's not necessary. I think York is very good, so let him come."
When Oliver was cold, he didn't expect that his hot face was touching his cold butt, so he had to laugh.
As for the newcomer York, he originally thought that this big customer was going to be snatched away again, but he didn't expect that Yi Feiyang trusted him so much, and he felt extremely grateful and excited.
Here, when the blonde beauty saw that the house she had chosen was about to be taken away, she couldn't help but said to the fat man: "Oh, honey, I really like that house, why don't you buy it!"
The fat man was furious. He had been slapped in the face by this Chinese young man. He wanted to confront him. The house was too expensive. When he didn't know what to do, when the woman next to him provoked him, he couldn't help but say: "Wait a minute."
, Man, I also like that villa, I want to buy it!"
Agent Oliver didn't expect that things would turn around and the fat guy on his side would actually take action!
Overjoyed!
Before he could speak, Yi Feiyang said first, "Okay, I'll give you that villa!" Then he winked at Oliver.
Oliver hadn't figured out why Yi Feiyang was "discharging" toward him, but the fat man could clearly see that a house buyer was flirting with a house seller, and they let go so quickly. What does this mean? What does it mean?
There's a ghost!
Shit, how dare you bully me for my low IQ!
So the fat man became furious, "Ha, do you really think I will fall for all your tricks? It's obvious that you are in the same group!"
Oliver was miserable, "You misunderstood, absolutely misunderstood him, I don't know him at all!"
"I misunderstood your size!" The fat man slapped him, causing Oliver to spin around.
"Let's go, don't buy it here, damn, I almost got fooled!" The fat man picked up the woman and went straight out.
"Oh, this man has such a bad temper..." Yi Feiyang shook his head and sighed, "Oh, by the way, since no one wants that house, can the price... be lower?"
Newcomer York and old man Oliver were stunned again. (To be continued...)
