The reputation of a Microsoft executive really worked. That night, Neil brought the contract to the hotel where Feng Yu was staying.
When the door opened and he saw six tall and strong bodyguards coming out, Neil's legs were so frightened that Mr. Feng was going to do something to him, right
Of course Feng Yu would not do anything to Neil. After Wilson reviewed the contract, Feng Yu signed it, then wrote a Citibank check for one million US dollars and told Neil that the extra US$10,000 was for I hope your tip and related procedures can be completed as soon as possible.
Neil nodded like a fool, he was indeed a Microsoft executive, this was a generous tip, a tip of ten thousand dollars!
The bodyguards all looked at Neil with envy. For such a small thing, he earned a tip of ten thousand dollars. The employer was so generous!
Feng Yu was also secretly observing these bodyguards. Fortunately, all he saw were envious eyes, not jealous, which made him very satisfied with these bodyguards.
Feng Yu did not move into that house right away. Some of the things inside had to be bought new. The furniture did not need to be replaced, but the appliances should be replaced with new ones.
If you can use Fengyu brand, use Fengyu brand. If Fengyu brand doesn't exist, use Philips. Other brands will not be considered for the time being. There are also useless books in the study, all given away. Feng Yu has no interest in decorating his bookshelf with books that he doesn't read at all. Buy a few sets of novels by martial arts masters such as Gu Long and Jin Yong. You can read them every day when you are bored.
Of course, you also need to buy economic magazines, such as Forbes, Fortune, Bloomberg Businessweek, and The Economist, the four major financial magazines. Feng Yu still must buy them.
But Feng Yu is not interested in buying economic books. Among those who read books like Carnegie’s Success Study in previous lives, who copied Carnegie’s path? It is clearly just a kind of chicken soup for the soul. It talks about some big principles that everyone knows, but it is just because of the word Carnegie. Only then did everyone believe it.
In Feng Yu's opinion, that kind of book makes no sense! It might as well be "Sub-Health" that he found someone to compile. At least "Sub-Health" also tells a lot of knowledge that people usually don't know.
As for the "cursed" house, Feng Yu asked Wilson to go through the formalities. He planned to demolish it, build a new one, and then use the yard to surround the two villas.
Dogs can be kept in the yard, and of course, it can be isolated from the outside world. Maybe a helicopter landing pad or something can be built in it.
Domestic air traffic control has not yet been liberalized at this time, and private individuals are not allowed to buy helicopters at all. But in the United States. It is much more relaxed, and air traffic control is very loose, but you need to pay a lot more taxes.
Besides, where is this? Seattle, where Boeing's headquarters is located. Boeing not only makes large airplanes and transport helicopters, but also has civilian helicopters, but they are not very famous. Just buy them from Boeing and go through the procedures. You don't have to worry about it.
Feng Yu deeply felt the inconvenience of the United States. Building a house requires the consent of neighbors and cannot be super high. It can’t be super-high, it can’t block other people’s sunlight, it can’t be different from other people’s houses, even the color needs to be consistent…
You can't do this, you can't do that, what a mess!
Fortunately, there are Wilson and Ralph, otherwise Feng Yu would be bored to death if he had to do these things by himself. Change the flooring at home. Neighbors must be informed in advance, otherwise the noise will be greater. You will be complained and the police will be called!
The house is getting bigger, and Feng Yu also needs to hire some housekeeping staff. For example, cleaning staff, chefs who know Chinese cuisine, gardeners who take care of lawns, etc.
Although temporary workers can be hired to do these things, Feng Yu feels that it is more appropriate to hire fixed people, so as not to have strange faces come every time, and who knows if there are evil-minded people among them.
…
One house has been renovated, and a construction company has been hired to start construction on the other side. Today, several housekeeping staff came for interviews, and Feng Yu had to make the decision himself.
"Boss, this is a couple who once worked as housekeepers at the house of a Chinese engineer from Boeing Company, but the engineer was transferred to another state, so they are temporarily unemployed. The two of them once opened a Chinese restaurant. It is said that The craftsmanship is pretty good, but I don’t understand Chinese food, so I can’t make a judgment.” Ralph held up a piece of information and explained to Feng Yu while reading it.
"Are they Americans?"
"No, they are Chinese, and they came here on a work visa. This month, if they can't find a job, they will be deported. Their son is studying at the University of Washington, and they come here to work to earn tuition for their son. Yes, their son will graduate next year."
Feng Yu nodded. When studying in the United States, you can actually work on your own. When Feng Yu went to college in his previous life, he did a work-study program. Perhaps this student's parents also think that the United States is easy to make money. After all, in recent years, many people think that the United States is full of gold.
Of course, if you can endure hardships and find a job in the United States, you will definitely earn more than in China.
"Hello, Mr. Feng." Two middle-aged couples dressed in simple clothes walked in with a somewhat restrained expression. They even bowed to Feng Yu. This sentence was also said by the man in English.
"I'm Chinese, so I just need to speak Chinese."
The two of them were obviously much more relaxed. The man bent down and said, "Mr. Feng, I am a pruning and gardening worker in China, and my skills are definitely very good. And I can also clean swimming pools, know how to be an electrician, and can repair many things. I can do a lot, and as long as you can keep me, my salary can be lower. My wife can cook, has opened a small restaurant in China, and can also clean, so the salary requirement is not high."
"Salary is not an issue. I'm curious, do you know English? How did you get the work visa in the first place?"
It turned out that these two sons knew the Boeing engineer, who was also Chinese. He felt sorry for them, so he used an agency to help them get work visas so that they could come to the United States to make money.
But the engineer was just a favor. Now that he was transferred to other states, he would not take them with him, so the two of them lost their jobs.
The man has gone to high school and knows a little bit of simple English. He can't communicate with others, but he has difficulty communicating with others, but he still has no problem buying groceries and the like. The woman didn't understand any English, but she looked very clean.
"You take care of the lawn and flower beds. There are vegetables in the kitchen that I asked people to buy. You watch them cook four dishes. If you are satisfied with them, we can discuss the salary issue. If not, don't follow. Everything I mention is the business of the Chinese people." Feng Yu will not be kidnapped by any favors. Besides, he doesn't know them at all, so being repatriated to the country won't be a big obstacle.
"Thank you, Mr. Feng. I will definitely satisfy you." The two of them bowed and backed away. The woman went to the kitchen to work, and the man immediately went to the garage to find tools. Both of them were working hard to express themselves.
"Isn't there someone else? Call them in and continue the interview."
… (To be continued.)
