The Black Card

() Finally entered the house.

After Shi Lei entered, he did not accept the advice of Jackman and his lawyer Lawrence to sit down and talk. Instead, he carried his hands on his back, as if visiting a former celebrity residence that had been developed as a scenic spot, and walked freely upstairs and downstairs. .

When coming downstairs, Shi Lei said with no sincerity: "Oh, sorry, after all, I want to buy a house, so I turned around first. Presumably Mr. Fries would not mind."

Jackman looked at Shi Lei, and said, "Do you mind if it helps?" Now people are poor, short horses, long and thin, long, shit, casually.

Lawrence knew that Jackman could not speak, and smiled and answered for him: "Mr. Shi is right. You originally came to buy a house. The most important thing is of course to take a good look at the house. Now Mr. Shi has watched After that, don't know if you are satisfied with this house? "

Shi Lei said nothing, walked to the sofa and sat down, then picked up the whiskey that had been poured on the table and motioned: "This is for me?"

Lawrence nodded quickly, Shi Lei took a sip, frowned slightly, and seemed very dissatisfied with this whisky.

"Damo, which has been around for fifteen years, has a brand with a false name." Shi Lei put down the glass of wine, as if commenting casually.

This seemingly casual word surprised Jackman and Lawrence a little. After all, it is not difficult to taste what brand is just a small bite. The hard part is to say exactly how long the wine has been stored. This requires a very accurate understanding of whiskey and the brand of Damo itself.

In Jackman's mind, he actually regarded Shi Lei as the same upstart as the Silicon Valley upstarts not far from here. The birth of the Internet has led many people to become wealthy people from long bodies, and OldMoney like Jackman actually despise these so-called upstarts.

After learning that Shi Lei thought that the house he wanted to sell was too cheap, and he was short of money and needed to sell the property in hand as soon as possible, Jackman made a special inquiry about Shi Lei's background.

And what he can find, of course, are only those things on the surface of Shi Lei.

In the last year of university, he started a business and created a shared bike that continued to ignite. Then, because of the investment of Hong Kong Polygene by Yuanyuan, he had a considerable amount of net worth.

Jackman looked down on Shi Lei even more. In his opinion, Shi Lei's net worth now is only 120 billion yuan, and this is still rich on paper, and there is not much money in his hand. But such a person came to the United States and tried to buy a mansion worth more than 100 million US dollars.

This also led to Jackman's resistance to Shi Lei from the beginning.

But now, Shi Lei's seemingly casual sentence made Jackman realize that his initial judgment may be biased. Those upstarts in Silicon Valley may have some research on certain brands of red wine, and even this kind of research still stays at an exaggerated level.

Like Shi Lei, you can taste Damo after one sip, and you can say exactly how long it has been stored.

This requires a long-term understanding of many types of brands, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.

This bottle of wine is actually not too expensive, and it is indeed not a good wine in the eyes of people like Jackman, or it is not a good wine for anyone with an annual income of more than 100,000 US dollars.

However, the evaluation of taste and affordability are definitely two different things.

Involuntarily, Jackman's posture was less proud than at first.

"What's going on with you? I said I would take the bottle of wine in my study to entertain Mr. Shi, how did you get this bottle?"

Jackman used the topic to play, of course, the maid did not dare to have any rebuttal, even if it was simply the wine that Jackman himself brought out.

The maid quickly took the bottle of wine he said from Jackman's study, and also poured it into the wine storage. There was no brand label for reference.

After changing the glass for Shi Lei, Jackman personally poured a glass for Shi Lei and said, "Mr. Shi, you might as well taste this glass of wine."

Shi Lei picked up the glass of wine, glanced at the color of the wine slightly, and then sniffed gently on the nose before taking a sip.

The liquor slowly flowed down on the tongue coating. The fragrance of the wine spread instantly. Shi Lei lowered the glass and said with a smile, "Genting 1919, fifty years, this wine is not bad."

Jackman and Lawrence glanced at each other with a little surprise in their eyes. They were completely accepted. Shi Lei was definitely not the kind of IT upstart they imagined, but had a strong background that they had not investigated. people.

"Mr. Shi, what do you think of my house?" Jackman completely gave up his arrogance, as if he finally understood where Shi Lei's arrogance originated.

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Overall, it's not bad, but I always feel a little strange to you Americans building a house. Why do you need a bathroom in each room? It doesn't feel like you live in a house, but There is an illusion of staying in a hotel. "

Jackman and Lawrence looked at each other, and to be honest, they didn't quite understand Shi Lei's feelings.

However, Tom has not dealt with the Huaxia people all these years. He still understands the demand for housing by some Huaxia people.

Tom quickly said, "Mr. Shi, this is actually the reason why the cultures and lifestyles of the two countries are different. China has implemented a policy called family planning in the last century, which has made the young generation in your country almost nothing. Brothers and sisters, there is no need to live with everyone. There are more rooms, and they are more used for various purposes, except for two or three bedrooms, all are functional rooms. The United States is different. In the United States, The size of a family's population is often linked to economic conditions, so when a house is large, it means that there will be more family members. This requires that most rooms are treated as bedrooms, so they will all take toilets. And we in the United States People regard inviting friends to be a guest at home as a way to treat guests with the highest treatment. When guests come and live in a guest room, they ca n’t always let them share a bathroom with the owner. This is really inconvenient. So, American houses , There are fewer functional rooms, most are bedrooms. "

Shi Lei listened, nodded, but understood.

"It seems that I'm abrupt, so to speak, no matter where I go to see the house, as long as it is built, it is almost the same?"

Tom nodded and said, "Generally speaking, houses in the U.S. that sell for millions of dollars are equipped with a few rooms and a few bathrooms ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The number of bathrooms will even exceed the number of rooms. . "

Shi Lei spread his hand and smiled, "I'll be fine, then I'm basically satisfied with this house."

Jackman took a sip of wine and said, "I don't know what Mr. Shi has to say about the price?"

Shi Lei took a deep look at Jackman and said, "Mr. Fries is short of money recently?"

Jackman suddenly felt a deep sense of malice. Although Americans' communication methods were indeed relatively direct, such interrogations could not always be asked directly.

"Why does Mr. Shi say so?"

"If it wasn't for Mr. Frith's lack of money, how could a person like you be able to sell out a house where he lived for ten or twenty years? According to my observations, Mr. Frith should not intend to leave Atherton? The house was sold to me. I guess Mr. Fries is going to move to a smaller house? "

Jackman felt deep malice again.
