Alpine pasture

Chapter 117
The work on the ranch is almost done, and the old Thomas pays attention to the new TL gray cattle several times a day, keeping track of the movements of these cattle, and even drives them into the pen at night, like a baby Coaxing, I still have the thought to give each cow a name. After branding it, I basically have to get up twice a day to look at it. Ju An is a little moved by his concern for the cow.It is estimated that when I was young, I didn't care about my wife so much.

Just as Lu Guangyuan and his wife sent away the puppy, Ju An received a call from Wang Fan. Wei Dong and his wife were coming tomorrow, so Ju An began to pack up his things and prepare to fly to New York in the afternoon. Take a look at Wang Fan's new home. The next day, I can go to welcome the two newlyweds who gave a circle of money in Paris.After arranging the things at hand, he handed over the two little birds and the little mountain lion to Da Zhuang to keep an eye on, and asked Thomas to send them to the airport, and Ju An boarded the flight to New York.

As soon as I got out of the airport passageway, I glanced around and saw a big sign with my name written on it. Wang Fan behind the sign was wearing sunglasses, a white shirt and trousers, and was waving at Ju An. , Ju An walked over with a smile and hugged Wang Fan.

Wang Fan picked up the luggage and said it was just a small soft cloth bag with some change of clothes in it, which didn’t weigh much. Ju An smiled and said to Wang Fan: “I thought it was big pants and checked shirt again. Dressed like a white-collar worker, not bad, the image has improved a lot."

Wang Fan replied with a smile: "It was all chosen by Cora, who said that I used to dress at home like I was on vacation in Hawaii, and it was a bit weird to wear in New York."

"Damn! You're fast enough. You took the female police officer home in just a few days. I thought it would take at least two months to make progress. The sentence just now is like showing off my girlfriend's ability." Ann teased.

Wang Fan said proudly: "The saying that a strong girl is afraid of pestering her husband is not applicable in all ages and in all countries. My brother has a deep understanding, and he took it down with a little trick."

Ju An laughed and said, "Damn! When you said that, I remembered the scene where you were handcuffed and dragged into the prison. It was really funny."

Immediately, Wang Fan's complacency was suppressed again.The two walked and chatted like this, and arrived at the parking lot after a while. Seeing that Wang Fan's car was a second-hand Ford, Ju An said strangely: "I haven't seen you these days, and your inner realm has improved a lot. Thinking about buying a used car, I thought you'd at least get your favorite Audi."

Wang Fan touched his head in embarrassment when he heard this: "I really bought an Audi station wagon, but Cora drove it away today. This car is going to be repaired today. She asked me to pick it up for her in the morning. Just had to open it."

Giving a middle finger to Wang Fan, Ju An got into the co-pilot's seat, Wang Fan got into the car, threw Ju An's bag back and started the car.

Ten minutes after we left the airport, we arrived at Wang Fan's house. Wang Fan stopped the car in front of the garage. Ju An walked out and saw that the house was a bit 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 twenty or thirty square meters.

After 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 the two of you live in such a big house?" .

Wang Fan smiled and said: "It looks bigger, but it's not as big as your house. Your house is so open that it looks small. My third floor has only five bedrooms and four bathrooms. I planned to I bought a smaller one, but I didn’t find a smaller one after I asked again, and 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 carefully looked at the decoration in the house. The decoration is still full of style, 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, opened a bedroom, and carried Ju An's luggage in, and Ju An looked at it. There was a light flowered sheet on the big bed, and a TV hanging on the wall. , the plain-colored wallpaper looks simple and elegant, with a separate bathroom. I went in and took a look. I have prepared toothpaste and toothbrushes for myself.

Throwing the luggage to the bed, Ju An followed Wang Fan downstairs to the living room, where several deep black sofas were facing a fireplace, Wang Fan took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator for Ju An, and the two The individual sat on the sofa and chatted.

Wang Fan took a sip of beer and asked, "How are things going well at your ranch?"

Ju An nodded and said: "It's not bad. A large number of cows have been brought in. Now there are more than 3 cows in the ranch, and the manpower has also increased a lot. There are more than [-] cowboys."

Wang Fan said with a smile: "According to me, you really might as well engage in tourism. It will be such an easy job for Wu Ming to directly contact your ranch in China. You just can't think about it."

"I'm a lot of annoying people, so I'm more comfortable raising cattle and sheep. I don't have to face so many people. By the way, when you come to the United States, Wu Ming takes care of domestic affairs. You're too hands-off. Let others do the burdensome work." You are really treacherous." Ju An teased.

Wang Fan said with a smile: "I'm not here to eat and drink for free. I'm also planning to open a trading company here, which is to make a little money by trading things from the United States and China. I just invested in a company. A few people are about to shake off their arms and start working."

"This trade is not very easy to do. I met two domestic and foreign traders at a dinner party, both of whom were Chinese." Ju An thought for a while and said.

"Whoever tosses that thing, they are usually toys, towels and clothes. What I toss are all big objects, such as small machines, bigger factory machine tools or something," Wang Fan said.

Ju An was a little worried: "You have to be careful, Lao Mei thinks that everything is a treasure, even a broken dishcloth would like to sell it to you as high-tech, if you mess around, maybe one day the FBI will ask you to drink tea ".

Wang Fan smiled and patted Ju An on the shoulder: "I'm not a spy, but I just want to make high-tech things, and I can't be used in China. Those big companies in the United States are almost impatient, looking at Germany. From time to time, the French export something to make money, and I can only watch it. I just use some machines and other things to act as an agent. Civilian use is not illegal, and I am not stupid.

The two chatted for a while, and then it was time for dinner. Ju An looked at his watch and joked to Wang Fan, "Why doesn't Cora come here? Wait for her to cook."

Wang Fan was taken aback when he heard this: "What is Cora cooking? She won't come to live here today, so we can solve it ourselves if we want to have dinner."

Ju An looked at Wang Fan and said with a smile: "Damn! I said why did you ask me to come earlier, so I wanted to cook. Didn't you and Cora live in bed? Why do you still live separately? I thought you were living together."

"That's what I mean. It's not like you don't know old women. It's one thing to sleep with you, but it's another thing to move in and live with you. Cora only comes to live occasionally now, or I'll go to her There, because I heard that you are coming, she will not come today, let me catch up on the old days, and she will come over tomorrow night after work to meet Wei Dong and his wife," Wang Fan explained.

"Talking about your sister's past, you should move to my house next door to reminisce about the past." After speaking, Ju An had no choice but to stand up, go to the kitchen, check what was in the refrigerator, and make enough food for herself.

Cooked three or four dishes casually, Wang Fan cut some cold dishes, and the salted duck eggs bought from the Chinese supermarket. After arriving at the hotel for a long time, the two finished a little more than a catty of liquor, and then wandered upstairs to go back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, the two of them had nothing to do for most of the day, and went to the airport in the afternoon, and took Wei Dong and his wife, who were carrying several bags, big and small, to Wang Fan's residence.

Wei Dong and his wife got out of the car and put down their luggage. After visiting Wang Fan's house, they boasted as soon as they sat on the sofa in the living room: "That's right, this single family has a swimming pool. It cost a lot of money. money."

Wang Fan said with a smile: "A total of 70 million U.S. dollars was spent."

Wei Dong nodded and said, "That's not expensive. Such a big house has a piece of lawn and a swimming pool. How much did it cost to decorate it?"

"It's all been renovated, including 70 to [-] yuan for decoration," Wang Fan explained with a smile.

Wei Dong's wife also nodded and said, "That's really not expensive. It's only about 400 million RMB, which is just enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment in Haishi."

Ju An explained with a smile: "You don't need 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 [-]% to [-]%. Pay, I have to pay hundreds of thousands of taxes a year in my place. This is fixed, although it varies from state to state, but it cannot be saved.”

Wang Fan said with a wry smile: "New York is 2%, the highest in the United States, and the tax in New York is also the highest in the United States. I have to pay more than [-] dollars a year for this house, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous expenses that add up to three percent." Tens of thousands of dollars."

Wei Dong said: "This means that it is cheap to buy a house here in the United States, but it is expensive to maintain a house. This house will cost more than 20 yuan a year, which is really a lot. It will cost more than 200 million yuan in ten years. Cheap".

Ju An said with a smile: "Don't be too emotional. Comrade Bill Gazi's house in Washington State costs more than 100 million dollars a year in real estate taxes. Thinking about it this way makes you feel balanced."

Wang Fan scolded with a smile: "Can these two houses be compared? I guess they don't even have their own movie theaters. Your Q spirit is a bit ridiculous."
