"Mr. Chen, we've already discussed the price of the land you want to buy."
"Oh? What price? "
"Six million."
"What? Say it again. How much? "
"Six million."
"Are you kidding me?" Chen Zhao exclaimed.
Six million? In Chen Zhao's opinion, 15 million was about the price.
It was basically impossible to go any lower.
But Andrews told him that he only had to pay six million.
Chen Zhao felt that it was really a joke.
"Of course," Andrews said. "The Mountain Town government wants to apply for an eighty million loan from our bank, but their mortgage is a bit low, so it's hard to approve."
"So you're using the loan as a bargaining chip?"
"Yes," Andrews said. "Mr. Chen, when are you free to come over and sign the land purchase contract?"
"I'm free anytime."
"How about now?"
"Sure."
When Chen Zhao went to Irvine, he realized that the Los Angeles headquarters of Citibank was being renovated, but the office upstairs was still working normally.
Although there had been a series of changes, the interior of the bank wasn't affected.
This was understandable. After all, with Citibank's power, it wasn't hard to suppress this matter.
It was not difficult to suppress this matter. For them, if the gaffe continued to worsen, their business would be affected.
Even if it was just the L.A. branch, the loss of a day's work would be huge.
Chen Zhao found Andrews' office.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
"Hello."
"This is the land purchase contract. Please take a look. If there are no problems, you can sign it."
Chen Zhao read it word by word. After confirming that there were no problems, he signed it.
"Mr. Chen, are you familiar with our general manager?"
Chen Zhao thought for a moment. "I just scammed nine million from her two days ago. Is that familiar?"
"Uh …"
Andrews was astonished. "You cheated her of nine million dollars?"
That wasn't right. If they were enemies, why would Amira help Chen Zhao pay 50% of the land purchase price?
Andrews couldn't figure it out.
He had indeed discovered that nine million had suddenly been transferred to Chen Zhao's bank account two days ago.
But he quickly gave up on guessing.
He really couldn't figure it out.
"So, that land is mine now, right?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Theoretically," Andrews said. "But legally, we have to wait for the notary office's result."
Chen Zhao nodded. When he'd bought Mirror Lake, he'd waited two or three months to get the deed.
Buying land in America was rather simple. He didn't have to go everywhere.
It was to sign the contract and pay the money, then send it to the notary office, and finally the land bureau to issue the land deed.
The banking system in the United States was more complete than that in China. Therefore, their business was more detailed and safer.
Chen Zhao wasn't worried that something would go wrong with the bank.
Just then, Amira walked over.
"Mr. Chen, I'm Chen," she said.
"Zhao," she said. "Chen," Zhao said. "Chen," said. "Zhao" you said. You don't have to apologize. If you still want to bet next time, remember to find me. I'll be there anytime. "
"Chen" Chen, She. She. She Chen... "Chen, Chen Chen," chen "No." Chen.
Amira was so angry that her nose was crooked, but she still maintained a smile on her face.
Andrews was even more confused. Why was Amira apologizing to Chen Zhao after losing nine million dollars?
…
After that, Chen Zhao went to train Eveleigh.
Eveleigh's price wasn't low. Chen Zhao had to try his best.
"Chen, are you coming to the celebrity invitational on November 25th?" Eveleigh asked, leaning against the shore.
"Where?"
"Montreal, Canada."
"I'm not sure." Chen Zhao couldn't give a definite answer.
He had to ask Fali's opinion. November 25th would be the start of winter in Canada. The temperature was 20 degrees lower than in LA.
If Fali wasn't willing to go, Chen Zhao didn't want to leave her side.
It wasn't that Chen Zhao had to stick to Fali. She was pregnant now. Chen Zhao wanted to stay by her side and take care of her.
Besides, his girlfriend was pregnant and he was staying at home. He went out to watch another woman's competition. No matter how he thought about it, it was not a good thing.
If Fali was interested in going to Canada for a vacation, Chen Zhao would go.
If she wasn't, Chen Zhao wouldn't go either.
"Okay. If you want to go, call me in advance. I'll reserve a ticket for you."
"Okay." Chen Zhao nodded.
…
When he returned home, Chen Zhao found Fali moving the wine.
"Fali, what are you doing? Hurry up and go upstairs." Chen Zhao quickly stopped her.
"I saw that it's been here for a long time, so I think it should be ready."
"Leave the heavy work to me in the future. If I'm not home, let King Kong do it. It's strong," Chen Zhao said.
"Step back. When you open the wine for the first time, it'll release some gases that aren't good for the human body. There's also a small chance that it'll explode."
Fali looked at Chen Zhao. She felt that he was being too careful.
Ever since she got pregnant, Chen Zhao had been a bit overprotective of her.
Actually, she wasn't that weak.
She didn't need any special care.
Chen Zhao opened a barrel of wine. The fragrance filled the air.
So fragrant! Chen Zhao took a deep breath.
Next was filtering and bottling.
Generally, high-grade wines needed to be filtered for a second time before they could be bottled.
Chen Zhao didn't have to teach the inferior demons these steps.
They probably knew better than Chen Zhao what to do.
In the next half a day, Chen Zhao, Fali, and the family started to work around the wine.
Fali wanted to do her part, so she also helped during the bottling process.
The inferior demons were anxious. Not only did Fali steal their work, she didn't do it as well as they did.
But they didn't dare to speak. Chen Zhao's murderous gaze.
If they said anything more, Chen Zhao would stuff them into the toilet.
Chen Zhao bought the bottles. They were regular wine bottles. Each bottle was about 750 ml.
In the end, there were around a thousand bottles. Because wine went bad more easily than other grain wines, it had to be sealed better.
Chen Zhao and Fali looked at their results with satisfaction, even though the inferior demons had done most of the work.
The next step was to preserve it and give it as a gift.
"Chen, send a few bottles to Mom and Dad," Fali said.
"Got it."
