000177 First step
After calculating the time, it’s time to get up and rush to Los Angeles. Everyone plays and walks along the way. It’s almost the time for the owners to have a cocktail party when they arrive in Los Angeles.
Sherry had already made an appointment with her, and her brother Anderson took her to Vallejo at the entrance of Napa Valley. Then Sherry and Xiao Yifei and the others went to Los Angeles to play, and Anderson went to San Francisco to do her own business. Before the winter vacation, Sherry and Wang Nan would not go home and flew directly from Las Vegas to Toronto.
Xiao Yifei finished packing it up in just a few seconds. Women were in trouble. There was obviously not much stuff, but Wang Nan had not packed it up for the past half a day. The bored Xiao Yifei came to the gym, pedaled the exercise bike for a while, and practiced boxing with gloves for a while, and always felt that the exercise volume was not enough.
Xiao Yifei felt that other places in this villa were fine, but he just wanted to find a place for sports or entertainment. Although there was a swimming pool, it was impossible to go out to swim in this winter. The reservoir upstream of the vineyard can fish, but Xiao Yifei didn't like this activity. Horse riding is also considered a sport, but he often went to horse riding, whether it was horse sports or Xiao Yifei's sports.
Xiao Yifei played with Hei Nose for a while, and he got so annoyed that he ran away. The bored and crazy Xiao Yifei wandered around the house, and finally he felt that there might be room for building a tennis court next to the house.
The landscaping company in Tianli's dropper was the landscaping company. They may know that Xiao Yifei used the phone to perform the summoning magic, and the person in charge came soon.
"What else can we find to do, we can do it."
"Can you do it?"
"Of course, we did a lot of tennis courts in the town."
After seeing the place where Xiao Yifei was gestured, he wandered around for a few seconds, took the tape measure and nodded:
"The tennis court can be built, but it takes more than two meters to be dug near the house. The other end needs to be padded about two meters. This requires slope protection, but there is no problem with drainage."
Dig a hole when you dig a hole. Don’t you leave a semi-buried tennis court now? The one from Leishi Organ is a tennis court built with a big hole.
"It's fine to build it. You can talk about how much money and how long it takes to do it."
"$50,000. If it doesn't rain, it can be built in a month."
Xiao Yifei was very dissatisfied with the price and construction period. In his opinion, the tennis court was just a piece of earthwork, and then a pile of concrete and some paint. Why is it so expensive? Why does it take so long?
The boss could only give Xiao Yifei a popular science. Xiao Yifei knew that the tennis court he thought was very simple. It was so complicated that there were several layers of the ground alone. The bottom was definitely concrete as the foundation layer, with asphalt on top, followed by a bonding layer connecting asphalt and several non-aging elastic layers. Only after completing these can the wear-resistant layer be strengthened. Then apply acrylic pigment on it, so that a tennis court can be considered completed.
"We do not use ordinary concrete for your substrate, but prestressed concrete. Although the price is high, the maintenance fee is low. The maintenance fee saved in just a few years will exceed the difference. And you can see the terrain. The fence will definitely only use a 5-meter high net."
High nets are a must. Otherwise, if you have a strong smash, you can only go to the vineyards under the hill to find tennis.
Originally, Xiao Yifei was just planning to ask him about the approximate price and find someone else to do it. But now he can do it directly. Xiao Yifei was worried that he would deliberately quote a high price. Xiao Yifei took out the flat plate and checked it. The quotation for the hard-ground tennis court is usually 30,000 to 70,000 yuan, and his statement online also confirmed that the price of prestressed concrete is expensive and the maintenance fee is low. It seems that his quotation is not outrageous, so he handed over the tennis court to them.
Xiao Yifei drove to Vallejo with Hei Nose and Wang Nan.
The town of Vallejo is where the Sacramento River and Napa River flow into the San Francisco Bay. To the east is the Shailo Wind Power Plant that Xiao Yifei wanted to invest in. It is also the place where the No. 80 Expressway to San Francisco and the 780 Expressway to Danville. Xiao Yifei remembers that in addition to entering and leaving Napa, it is also because the city has been clamoring to go bankrupt since last year.
On the way to Exit 80, a row of roller coasters suddenly appeared next to it.
“Stop.park.”
Wang Nan suddenly started to shout, and Xiao Yifei had to pull over to stop.
"What are you doing?"
“Look. There is a playground.”
Xiao Yifei took a look and found that the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom was probably the same as the Six Flags Mountain Magic Mountain near Los Angeles. There are also a large number of roller coasters there, and the same is true here, and they all look like the style of the whole family.
"This is all for children to play. If you want to play, let's go to Six Flags Magic Mountain before talking about it."
"Anyway, it's all fun, and I'm not in a hurry, so you can promise me to set the itinerary."
Wang Nan still attaches great importance to the right to replace the water bubbles on his hands.
"Okay, Shirley is coming soon. The three of them vote at that time, okay."
When I arrived at the intersection, after waiting for a while, Anderson drove off the highway.
Xiao Yifei chatted while drinking Anderson, staring at the side. He muttered in his heart: The two women have not seen each other for a few days, and they hugged each other like something, and they didn't say anything to hug me. And Wang Nan was also showing off her blisters. Don't you know that she could escape the farm work when she planted fruit trees in Shirley's house?
After seeing Anderson off, Shirley actually agreed to go to the amusement park. According to her, this place used to be an ocean park. In addition to roller coasters, there were also marine animals such as seals. In addition, shark corridors, undersea corridors and so on are also worth seeing.
2:1, so the three of them walked into the playground.
When Xiao Yifei got in, he found out that he had been fooled. Shirley said there were other projects, but the two women were happily queuing up to ride a roller coaster. After two kinds of rides, they actually went to play with the big pendulum and other amusement facilities. Whether they were sitting by themselves, they had to pull Xiao Yifei to sit together.
I finally came to the animal area, which was like a small zoo, including land animals, such as elephants, giraffes, lions, wolves, monkeys, and marine animals, such as seals, sea lions and dolphins.
What is unique is that the pool of the Penguin House is full of glass. People can see these penguins shuttle underwater like a small torpedo through the glass.
The most distinctive one is probably the shark corridor. Gundam's glass corridor passes through the shark pond. People can watch sharks up close, ocean killers, swimming around and above people, looking at their white teeth. It's indeed a bit scary.
It was already past 6 o'clock when I came out of the amusement park and it was already dark.
"It's all your fault. You have to take a roller coaster. How can you go to Los Angeles today?"
Wang Nan made a pitiful expression:
"Isn't it okay if I was wrong?"
The reason why I was late today was because this guy was dragged down. After coming out of the animal area, this guy had to do some devil roller coaster. As a result, on the roller coaster, I saw the dolphin performance area next to me about to start again, so I went to see the dolphin performance, and then other marine animal performances. Anyway, except for the obvious children's activities, this guy dragged everyone to play for a while. Everyone had lunch in them. Of course, Xiao Yifei was very happy, so he forgot about the time.
"Is it enough to just admit your mistake? You are deprived of your right to make a trip, and you can only play with it in the future. I will make the decision wherever you go."
Seeing Xiao Yifei driving onto the highway, Shirley changed the topic:
"You don't have to drive to Los Angeles, it's going to take several hours to get there."
"What else are you going to Los Angeles? Find a place to live."
Wang Nan asked weakly:
“Over the other side is the Courtyard Hotel, why don’t you live there?”
"If you don't have a home, what hotel will you stay in?"
Of course he lived in Danville at night. Before going to bed, Xiao Yifei received a call from Jensen, and he had completed the first plan. So Xiao Yifei changed his itinerary and went to San Francisco tomorrow.
Driving to a cafe, Jansen, who had been waiting here, raised his hand to greet him.
“These are information about John Davis.”
Xiao Yifei looked at the information. John was the second child of the Snowberg family. He had been to Moscow since 1998. He managed an investment fund of over 100 million yuan there. Unfortunately, due to the financial crisis, he failed to hold a $1 billion financial project he had in charge.
"Who is his lawyer?"
"His attorney is Herman Frank, a standard attorney. I don't know the good reviews, but he is said to like to encourage clients to appeal the most."
Xiao Yifei understood that the word "standard" may be better translated as typical.
"How is the level?"
"Overall, but he is easy to get along with and can easily gain customer trust."
Of course this is true. How can we convince our clients to appeal without gaining the trust of our clients? Thus, we will get more attorney fees.
"He is also a writer, and his list of works is behind the information. He also has a media company that promotes his works and scripts."
When he said this, Jansen laughed, Xiao Yifei laughed too. If he was really a successful lawyer, he still had time to do these things? However, Xiao Yifei had to sigh that this private detective was so powerful that he found so many things so quickly.
Xiao Yifei looked at the works of this unemployed lawyer, including children's books and scripts. Unfortunately, only a few books have been published now, and they are self-published, and the author bears the expenses for publishing the books themselves.
"Have you found a new lawyer?"
Jansen took him to a law firm upstairs to meet an old lawyer with gray hair.
"Xiao, this is Snyder's lawyer, and he is most familiar with property inheritance disputes. Snyder, this is Xiao."
Lawyer Snyder is not the kind of lawyer you can see by turning on the TV that says "no fees will be charged without compensation". What Xiao Yifei clearly asks for a top estate dispute lawyer in the Bay Area. Since Jensen recommended him, he naturally has a few tricks.
"I've heard Jason talk about your name a long time ago, and we're all envious of him for finding a good employer."
"Attorney Snyder, I believe Jensen told you."
"I know, let me be an attorney for John Davis. I have considered your plan and thought it would be possible to complete it. It's just that the plan is only clearing the media in Napa and San Francisco. Isn't the scope too narrow?"
"The case is now only heard in the California District 1 Appeal Court of Appeal in San Francisco. It's enough for us to clear the media in San Francisco. If we have to go to the advanced stage, we will naturally invest more funds."
"As long as the witness you mentioned can appear in court, we have a high chance of winning the lawsuit. If John repents and refuses to sell the winery shares, I will not be responsible."
"John is a financial investment person. Everyone knows that financial practitioners are basically gamblers. Do you think a gambler can stand the same character to build a winery? Can he like the speed of making money in the winery?"
Xiao Yifei believed that if John had not failed to invest in Russia, he would not look down on the winery at all and would not have come back to compete for his property. Judging from the fact that he had just hired a general lawyer,
The next task is to meet the standard lawyer Hermann. Since Hermann writes books and scripts, his work will definitely be much more attractive to him after being published by a regular publisher or a script becomes a shooting. CBS also has a publisher. His book or script is bad, so I can find a few more people to change it for him. I believe that this is used to tempt him and convince him to convince John to let Snyder be an attorney and he will become a consultant himself.
