Vol 3 Chapter 261: Melting ice

Regardless of his father's identity, John is a real estate businessman and he can talk about many topics. Why should he focus on his relationship with Ma Ling?

It happens to be the end of December. The article he wrote about the outlook for the world economic situation in 2003 has been completed. There should be many topics that John may be interested in.

In the past two years, due to the downturn in the high-tech industry, many industries in the United States have been driven down, but the real estate industry in the United States can be said to be thriving, and it is a rare highlight in the US economy.

If it is not for the support of the real estate industry, I am afraid that the economic growth of the United States in the past two years will not be a few tenths of a percent but a negative number.

In August of this year, the new home sales in the United States broke a record of over one million units, and this record is not a flash in the pan. In the past few months, real estate sales in the United States have remained strong and sales have remained above one million.

In fact, this matter is also well understood. It is the same all over the world. When the stock market is down, a large amount of funds will be transferred to real estate in order to preserve value. The United States is no exception.

However, the living example of the Internet bubble is just ahead. The real estate industry has been so hot in the past two years, and many people have questioned whether the real estate industry in the United States is the next bubble.

If Feng Yiping tells John, at least in 2003, because of the Federal Reserve’s continuous interest rate cuts, mortgage interest rates have dropped to the lowest in recent years. The Bush administration has continued to cut taxes. Not only has the overall tax rate been reduced, many household-related taxes such as corporate dividend taxes and stock income taxes have also been reduced. The tax rebate for families with children has been greatly reduced. Therefore, although real wages have not increased, the income of residents is actually increasing because of the reduction in taxes.

As for the second war in Iraq, which is already on the bow, it will be quickly resolved, which will drive the US stock market to rebound, the momentum of economic recovery will increase, residents' willingness to consume, and the enthusiasm of buying houses will increase... Then John must be happy to listen to these analyses.

However, just when the words were about to be exported, Feng Yiping stopped the car in time.

This topic seems to be bad.

For a person like John who originally had opinions about himself, showing his superiority in front of him at this time, showing you an extraordinary vision, seems to know real estate better than his real estate boss, it is estimated that not only will he change his attitude towards himself Image, maybe it will worsen the image in his mind.

This principle is also easy to understand, and it is estimated that few people will be used to seeing someone they don't like showing off.

So what should I say? Feng Yiping immediately had a better topic.

"John, I have been stuck on wetland protection and impact permits for my campus construction approval in Silicon Valley. The Army Corps of Engineers even said that it may take 180 days or more to make an assessment and make a decision. Each day of delay requires a lawyer. Fees, rent and other expenses are not small amounts. You should be experienced in this area. Can you give me some pointers?" He asked very sincerely.

Yes, Feng Yiping believes that in this state, it is obviously not appropriate to show superiority in front of John. Showing weakness in front of him and highlighting his superiority and ability is the best way to open up.

Sure enough, John heard this, although he still didn't answer, but his **** moved a few times on the chair, obviously a little moved.

He was quite depressed that Feng Yiping was young, not only was his business successful, his wealth was even richer than him, but he was also an expert he admired very much—of course, that was because he didn’t know that Feng Yiping was the father of his grandson. Before, he was also an adviser to a character like Jobs.

In short, Feng Yiping's request for advice can still satisfy his vanity.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, Feng Yiping knew that the fire was not enough, so he said to himself, "First, it affects the habitat of birds, and now it affects the water body. Vincent, wait until it can be approved That day, the extra money can help you buy a big house in Washington,"

John moved his **** again and took a sip of beer. After a while, he finally asked, "Which lawyer did you hire?"

Hey, it worked, and Feng Yiping immediately took the sentence, "The best law firm in San Francisco was commissioned."

"That's it. They certainly don't have much influence in Washington. You can delegate the approval of this project to some professional law firms in Washington alone. I can recommend a few for you.

Only less than 10% of the approval in this area will take 180 days or more, at least I have never encountered it in so many years.

You didn't find the right law firm, and the lawyer might not find the right public relations partner. What migratory birds inhabit and affect water bodies. These official articles have a lot of room for maneuver. "

"If there are still difficulties," John thought for a moment, "I have a good relationship with the Secretary of the Army's assistant."

"Thank you very much, John, you have helped me a lot." Feng Yiping took his son to his chair and sat on the beach. "Then what aspects of the construction process need to be paid attention to, I heard here The engineering team is very difficult to manage,"

He intends to strike while the iron is hot. Although he doesn't expect John to like him immediately, at least he should not hate him.

"It is easy to sign a contract with the construction team, but dismissal is very troublesome. Your project manager must hire a very expert person, otherwise, he will be tricked around."

People are good teachers, especially when someone who is outstanding in many aspects asks you for advice, not only will you have a sense of accomplishment, you will also be happy to do so.

Feng Yiping mentioned it a little bit, and John took the initiative to tell him a lot of aspects that need attention, and these contents are really helpful to Feng Yiping, and he listened very carefully.

As John said, he looked at Feng Yiping and saw that he was listening carefully. He couldn't help but look at him a little bit, and handed him a can of beer from the incubator next to him.

Well, this can of beer means that the ice has broken and the Cold War has finally collapsed. It also means that Feng Yiping's strategy is correct.

"What are you talking about, such a speculation?" Heidi and the others watched from a distance as the two people on the shore finally sat closer, as if they were still chatting enthusiastically and curiously.

Feng Yiping hurriedly handed over the bath towel, "I asked John about the project approval and construction issues."

When John saw his wife and daughter come back, he returned to the way he was before, as if the hot scene had never happened before.

Ma Ling looked at Feng Yiping with a smile on his towel. Feng Yiping hurriedly handed her his son to her with a smile on his face. Feng Yiping quickly gave her his son. The relationship has just improved a bit, and he will be irritated immediately.

At this moment, someone called out "Brit?"

An acquaintance of Ma Ling? Feng Yiping heard it and saw that it was this guy.

That is not only Ma Ling's acquaintance, but also has a close relationship with Feng Yiping.

It was the night that Feng Yiping and Ma Ling met for the first time, and that Sam with long hair and beard, who gave Feng Yiping the treatment of losing his shoes.

I haven't seen him for more than a year. This guy seems to be stronger, but he still has that sloppy look. He is wearing big pants, naked to the upper body, holding a compassionate shirt in his hand, and he is followed by two men and three. Female, the most notable feature of the three females is the size of the chest, the old said domineeringly.

Will it be true? Feng Yiping remembered the empirical talk he saw on the Internet later. It seemed that if it was natural, then the groove would be a straight shape. If it had been operated on, it would generally be a very obvious y-shape-or it should be reversed. Coming over, he couldn't remember clearly.

However, with so many people present, it is really not the time to study academic issues.

"Sam, why are you here?" Ma Ling is now in a good mood and has a good attitude towards the gorilla comrade.

"I'm on vacation with a few colleagues," Sam pointed to the people next to him.

"Jack, you go back to the hotel first, don't wait for me," he said to his original companion.

"These two are your parents?" He asked, looking at the couple lying on the beach chairs.

Ma Ling had to introduce, "Dad, Mom, this is my alumnus Sam,"

"Hello Sam," Marty greeted him, how did he look like a hippie?

John seems to have a good impression of him, "A can of beer?"

"Thank you uncle,"

Ma Ling wrapped her body tightly with a bath towel, "Where are you working now?"

"A production company in Hollywood," Sam was very interested. "It turned out to be doing some chores. Now he's an assistant to the casting director."

"Oh, that's pretty good," Ma Ling said lightly.

Annie, nephew and nephew’s dad were building the unfinished sandcastle, and smiled and said, "Are you not angry if you pry the corner in front of you?"

"Well, I should have pried it before. As a result, you know it," Feng Yiping still has this confidence.

"Brit, I think on your terms, if you go to Hollywood to develop, you will definitely have a bright star," Sam lobbied vigorously.

"Really?" Ma Ling said perfunctorily.

Sam didn't know, but he disgusted John at his words, "Are you Britt's alumnus?"

"Yes, uncle, I just graduated last year,"

"Then you should know Britt's major and her future whereabouts,"

Sam quickly explained, "This is just a suggestion, a suggestion."

John snorted heavily.

This guy just said a word that made John so unhappy, Feng Yiping suddenly felt that to himself, John shook his old fist before he came up~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It seemed to be really polite.

Sam also knew that he was not pleasing to say this, and he lost his previous air, and whispered to Ma Ling, "There is a great party in the city at night. How many alumni are going to go, do you want to come?"

"I can't go, I have to take care of the children," Ma Ling said as he looked at Vincent who was sitting on the beach and building a sandcastle enthusiastically.

Hearing his mother call his name, Vincent was very happy to offer the treasure, "Mom, look," this is very clear.

"It's a good job, but it must be done," Ma Ling said sweetly.

At this moment, Feng Yiping thought, the heart of the monkey brother Sam should be broken.

He ran away suddenly. Could it be that he was looking for a place to vent his voice? Feng Yiping thought very unkindly.

He obviously thought more. After a while, Brother Orangutan came back with a piece of paper. He was going to the bar to find paper and pen, "This is the address at night. If you have time, you must come and see it."

"Ok,"

Then he saw Ma Ling put the piece of paper on the chair. When a gust of wind blew it, he might drift into the sea. He knew whether he could not see Ma Ling at night, or he would use the can of beer he had not finished drinking. Above, "Uncle, Aunt, Annie, goodbye!"

From beginning to end, he was a bit like John before, without even looking at Feng Yiping, let alone talking to him.

Heidi nodded to Sam, but John didn't respond at all-Feng Yiping was quite satisfied with this attitude.
