Little Life on An American Ranch

After returning to the ranch, after waiting for about half an hour, the new and old lawyers arrived. The original lawyer understood what was going on after seeing this posture. In fact, he had already been mentally prepared when he knew that Jian Heng was going to take over the ranch. It is human nature to use a lawyer who is easy to use.

Things went smoothly, but in fact, if it didn’t go well, it wouldn’t work. It can be said that all the things that can be sold in the ranch, except the ranch and the house that can’t be moved, the bank has already discounted all the things that can be discounted.

As a lawyer, let me remind you one last time, these loans will have to be repaid by the end of October at the latest. The lawyer stood up, reached for the coat hanging on the back of the chair, folded it on his arm, and reminded Jian Heng .

Jian Heng nodded: Thank you!

Then I have nothing to do, I'm leaving! The lawyer stretched out his hand.

Jian Heng and his newly hired lawyer shook hands with him, and then sent him out together.

After seeing off the person, and sitting back at the table again, Jian Heng said to the new lawyer: Daniel, are all of these all right?

There is no legal problem, but I just think why you want to take over the ranch, wouldn't it be better to buy it after the auction?

The new lawyer's name is Daniel-Yang.

Yang is not the Yang of the poplar tree, which means young in English. He is dressed in a very ordinary way, and it seems that he doesn't do well here.

However, Jian Heng believes that those who can make some famous people in the HSD area should be quite capable. As for scandals and the like, Jian Heng doesn't care at all. White Rabbit? Don't talk about it, before there is an accident, they are all dragons and phoenixes, and once there is an accident, they are all the dregs of society. What's more, this one hasn't sat down on that thing yet.

Daniel is really not doing very well these days. Even after returning to his hometown from HSD, he still hasn’t escaped the mess. You can’t say that there are no one who looks for him, but there are certainly not many, and the most are appointed by the court. It was obvious that he would lose a huge lawsuit, and Guan Jian didn't have much money yet.

For now, Jian Heng is his biggest client, so as soon as he received the information from his classmates, he studied it carefully. It can be said that he has worked hard.

As soon as the work is done, this person will naturally know the inner joints. In his opinion, his customers have suffered a loss in this matter. If he started to take over, he would definitely not let Jian Heng do this, but chose to leave it to the bank for auction. , and then took the remaining money and the money that he was going to get, and then bought the ranch. In this way, even if there is a loan, there will be enough buffer time.

We don't need to discuss this matter. It's pointless to discuss it at this time. Jian Heng waved his hand. His lawyer in New York had tried to persuade him countless times, but Jian Heng was afraid of the consequences once this thing went into the auction process. It will become unpredictable, if a Cheng Yaojin comes out, a person like himself with cleaner pockets than his face is no match for him.

As the old saying goes, a loss is a blessing, so there is no need to be poor.

Call me Dan. I need your power of attorney for the rest of the matter. I brought the things. You can read it and sign here. Daniel said and took out two from the briefcase he brought. The paper was handed to Jian Heng.

Jian Heng has seen this thing too much, but even though he has seen it, Jian Heng still reads it carefully. This is a habit he learned from Anders. All legal documents must be read by himself, and If you don’t understand, you have to ask for clarification immediately, and you can only sign after you are sure.

It took five minutes for Jian Heng to read through the document carefully, and found that there was nothing wrong with it. Then he touched the pen on the table, unscrewed the cover, and signed his English name Henry—Jane.

Do you have anything to do? Jian Heng opened his mouth and asked after seeing Daniel sorting out all the documents on the table and putting them in his bag.

It's all right, I'm going back to Kalispell,

What else do you need? Daniel asked.

Jian Heng said: By the way, give me a ride. I'm going to buy a car first, and then I'll take the afternoon flight back to New York. Just let me know after you finish the matter.

When Daniel heard that he would miss the opportunity to deepen communication with Jian Heng, he immediately nodded and agreed.

Jian Heng asked Daniel to wait here, and went to the underside of the gallery to put the two tigers into the space, and then the two sat in Daniel's old Corolla and went to Kalispell together.

No need, I'll just go to the car dealership by myself, you can go home. Jian Heng was about to get off the car as soon as he entered the city.

The two chatted all the way, and Jian Heng had a good understanding of this person, and felt that this person was okay to look at now, but as for the future, he had to wait and see.

Danny smiled and said, It's okay, I'm free to work here, and I live alone now, so it's okay to take a turn when I go home.

While talking about Daniel, he turned the steering wheel and led Jian Heng to the city.

Kalispell is considered a county. Its area is slightly smaller than that of Jian Heng’s hometown. As for the appearance of the city, it’s not too different. I don’t know how the western counties in China are, but Jiang N County is quite clean. , the city appearance is also good, the main advantage here in the United States is that there are few people, it looks quiet, the pace of life and the quality of life are high. Except for the public facilities on both sides of the road, the residents are two-story or single-story single-family houses, and there is nothing to talk about. The standard American township style.

According to Daniel, there are two car dealers in the town. The car dealers in American counties are different from those in our country. They all also sell second-hand cars. Jian Heng directly asked Daniel to pick a big one with a good reputation, and plunged into it.

Hello! As soon as he entered the car dealership, a skinny young man in his early thirties came to Jian Heng and greeted him warmly: Are you two looking at new cars or second-hand cars?

For some reason, Jian Heng felt that the young man looked at him a little strangely, as if he was looking at a rich man.

Look at the car, it's a second-hand one. Jian Heng pushed this weird thought out of his mind, and said to the guy in the car dealership.

My name is Mike, nice to meet you!

After introducing himself, the young man led Jian Heng and Neil to the left of the car dealership.

After walking about a hundred or so steps, Jian Heng found that the young man took him to the side of the luxury car, which is also called BBA in China. Spread out in a row, there are six 90% new Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi neatly in front of them.

I want to buy a second-hand pickup truck. I work on the ranch. These things are not practical for me! Jian Heng said immediately.

After Jian Heng finished speaking, he immediately felt that the expression on the young man's face was a little weaker, and he looked very disappointed.

Of course, people still serve with a smile, but I can't tell whether it's a smile or a wry smile.

Oh, it's okay, let's take a look first, in case you like something. The young man smiled.

Jian Heng shook his head and said in his heart: Dare to take me for a fool!

Jian Heng doesn't know what to say about this. Anyway, when Jian Heng came to the United States six years ago, Americans looked at Asian faces, except you showed that RB came, they all thought you were poor, and now they see you with an Asian face. No face, no matter how much you think you are from mainland China, everyone thinks you are rich, and from time to time treats you like a fool, a big fool.

Let's put it this way, walking at night now, and encountering American women who have lost their way standing on the street are more enthusiastic than before.

This little guy who sells cars must think of himself as a money lord from China, and he should spend a lot of money here in the United States to buy a big ranch, and he is the kind who rides a horse and pretends to be cool.

I'm a real rancher, the kind that raises cattle, and I don't have much money! Jian Heng explained again.

Even if he is rich, Jian Heng will not buy a second-hand BBA. There are many problems with this product, and American labor is expensive. It is really terrible to maintain it.

And in terms of quality, in fact, BBA is just like that!

For most Americans, a car is a means of transportation, and cars that can be used to show off are of the level of Ferrari and Lamborghini. BBA is just like that, and it is naturally even rarer in the countryside.

In China, Japanese cars may be regarded as sacred cars, but in the United States, Jian Heng would not choose Honda when buying a second-hand car, because the gearbox is too troublesome. Toyota’s Corolla is really good, but it’s not suitable for ranch use. As for the Tundra, you can only choose between the cabin and the comfort of the rear row. It’s not as practical as pure American pickups like Ford and Chevrolet. As for the Japanese Subaru, don't mention it.

Korean car? Opening the US market is based on two words: cheap, as for quality? Anyway, whoever likes to buy and buy, Jian Heng would not pay for it even if he was beaten to death, and he would not even give it away for free.

Only then did the guy realize that this guy was not a Chinese model, but he was here to buy a second-hand car, so he took the two of them to a place where used cars are practical.

It's all here! The young man brought it to the place and said, raising his hand and swiping around.

Okay, I see. Jian Heng saw that some cars had some yellow papers with prices on them, but these were all things that were hard to see, such as four thousand or two thousand. .

Jian Heng can't afford to serve such a car, everyone looks older than Jian Heng, how can Jian Heng afford to serve.

Big men are also quick at reading things, and soon Jian Heng found a second-hand Ford 150 pickup he likes, a two-door version with a standard cargo compartment, and has driven more than 40,000 kilometers. After asking, the price is around 13,000. The car looks pretty good.

Of course, if you look at the appearance of the car at the car dealership, it is all glamorous, so you can't be confused by this thing.

Fortunately, Jian Heng is not a novice in buying second-hand cars. He began to look carefully at the exterior. At this time, he mainly looked for any bumps on the body. Some car owners would use paint to cover up the bumps.

After the body inspection is completed, it is the interior, and then the tires, lights, electric equipment, and the three major items. It takes more than half an hour to complete a set.

After this whole set, the young man who sells the car will understand that the person who came to buy a car today is a veteran, and usually these people don't make too much money.

After checking everything, Jian Heng copied the VIN code of the car, and then went online to check the carfax report. This thing must be checked, because there are various information on the vehicle, mainly the maintenance of the vehicle, and accident situation. If you want to prevent buying an accident car, you must look at this thing when buying a car in the United States. This trouble cannot be avoided.

Of course, adhering to the American tradition of paying for everything, checking this thing is also expensive, and there are a lot of it. Checking a table seems to cost 39.99 US dollars, which is a penny to forty dollars, which is really expensive To die!

Fortunately, Jian Heng has been in the United States for a long time. Chinese people especially like to save money and like to get together to save money. Jian Heng knows that a buddy who is studying abroad can help with the search for free. The VIN number of the car was sent.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the buddy sent the report to Jian Heng's mobile phone. After looking at it, he found that the car was in good condition and there were no accidents. Everything was fine, so he really felt relieved.

The next step is to test the car. The guy accompanied me for a walk. The performance of the car is good no matter whether it is a high-speed or low-speed car. The next step is to negotiate the price. Seeing the style of Jian Heng, the guy became sincere. There was no high price, and twelve thousand five thousand was given.

Jian Heng and Daniel returned the price to 12,000, and cut off another 500. The guy who cut it off changed his face. Finally, he found the boss before making the decision, and he also asked the boss to give him another tank of gas. .

At this time, Jian Heng didn't have the generosity of those few days when he sent the big Benz to the auction, he was just a country old button!

Just like that, Jian Heng's ranch got its first pickup truck, a second-hand Ford 150 with two doors and a middle compartment.
