Note: The following is the plot of the winery acquisition. It was written early. I don’t know why it was so procrastinating and tedious at that time, but now there is no time to make major revisions. Please jump to read it when you read it. Sorry.

There seemed to be nothing wrong in China, so Xiao Yifei began to prepare a visa to the United States. Visa to the United States was really troublesome. Fortunately, with the help of the staff assigned by Jensen, he got the visa and boarded a flight to San Francisco.

When Xiao Yifei wakes up, it will take another hour for the plane to land.

This time, Xiao Yifei went to the United States and put the black nose in the space. The purpose of going to Europe was very clear, and it was only one month, so he did not carry the black nose. This time he went to the United States. If he could buy a winery successfully, he would stay in the winery. Maybe he would not return home again for more than a year, and he would not be intimate with him in the future.

Xiao Yifei thought for a while and began to think about the itinerary after entering San Francisco. This time it was different from going to Europe, which was travel and inspection. This time it was farming, actual combat, and a new business.

The plane landed at San Francisco International Airport. Xiao Yifei had only one bag and was in first class. When passing the customs, he caught up with the team of a flight ahead. The team moved slowly, and Xiao Yifei moved forward boredly with the flow of people. In fact, it should be very fast to pass the test. However, now the increase in finger-shaping and inquiry have made the entry procedures cumbersome and long.

In front of Xiao Yifei was an elderly couple from China who were in trouble.

The immigration officer is a young black man, and Xiao Yifei is very sure that he speaks English. Everyone should have heard of black man playing rap. This black guy probably adds some rhythm to the concert. The most depressing thing is that he is still a little confused. Just like Jay Chou sings double Jaylen, Xiao Yifei is struggling to listen, let alone the elderly couple.

The three of them stared at each other for 10 seconds. When the immigration officer saw Xiao Yifei behind them, he waved his hand and became a temporary translator.

"What is your purpose in the United States?"

"Have you been to the United States in the past?"

"How long do you plan to take it in the United States?"

“Are the entry form filled in completely?”

Fortunately, these two old men are honest and do not pass the entry form like the entry guide that cheats people. And the old couple went to attend their daughter's graduation ceremony, and the reason was very legitimate. After a lot of questions, the black border official collected the application form, booked a card on the passport visa page, and knocked the big seal and returned the passport. Pass!

Then I arrived at Xiao Yifei. I saw the passport of the Three European countries and the extremely simple list of entry items. The black guy was happy and started to live in vain as soon as he exposed his big white teeth:

"Man, you've been to Europe."

"I like traveling."

“What is the purpose of coming to the United States?”

"travel."

After looking at Xiao Yifei's personal belongings, he only had a laptop bag, and a Lycra SLR was hanging around his neck, and he had nothing else.

"Why do you have so little luggage?"

This issue is very critical and is also a weakness of a tourist visa. If the entry officer thinks you have an immigration tendency, he can refuse to let you go now.

Xiao Yifei took out the German bank's credit card, and then dug out his bank records and Sosby's guarantee materials from the pile of information:

"I have a card, what can't be bought? It's inconvenient to travel with a lot of luggage."

After looking at the materials for a while, then looking at Xiao Yifei. The black guy knocked his big seal and passed.

There was another checkpoint afterwards, which was the US Customs Inspection. However, the customs inspection was a random inspection rather than a necessary inspection. For Xiao Yifei, who had basically no luggage, he could not draw on his head.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I actually met the Chinese couple again. It turned out that they were going to make a turn, but they couldn't find the domestic waiting hall and couldn't speak English. I found two staff members but couldn't speak Chinese well. Well, Xiao Yifei could only act as a translator again and sent them to the place by the way.

After changing the local phone card, he reported to Ping An as usual and called out. It was not that he didn't know the jet lag, but compared to his family's concerns, they didn't care about being woken up in the middle of the night.

Xiao Yifei first came to Ruian Law Firm.

This Ryan Isaac is the younger brother of Sosby's vice president, Jansen Isaac. After communicating with the two brothers, Xiao Yifei learned that they both came from a California lawyer family. Their father is a famous lawyer in Los Angeles and has his own law firm. The older brother Jansen doesn't like being tricked by his father. After graduating from law major, he went to New York and eventually became Sosby's vice president. The younger brother also left Los Angeles and stayed in other law firms for a few years, he went to San Francisco to set up his own law firm.

Explaining the purpose of the trip, a beautiful woman with brown hair in her 20s took Xiao Yifei to the office on the second floor.

A white man in his 40s stood up and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xiao, welcome you to the United States."

Xiao Yifei was surprised: "You can speak Mandarin?"

"A little bit, in the big cities of California, it is good for our developing Chinese customers to speak two Chinese words."

Xiao Yifei was amused and crying. Now more and more rich people are immigrating to the United States, and many of these people have bad English, but they are all rich people and potential clients of lawyers. Using a few Chinese sentences to gain the favor of customers and has a lubricating effect on cooperation.

Let's change back to English:

"Jason has already told me what Mr. Xiao means. Mr. Xiao currently has two needs, one is immigration and the other is investment, right? Please believe that our law firm is just right for you."

After a brief understanding, Xiao Yifei signed two lawyers, one was the lawyer Ryan Isaac, who will serve as Xiao Yifei's personal lawyer and be responsible for business legal affairs. The other was Kevin Brown, a specialized immigration lawyer.

After signing the contract, Xiao Yifei first needs to apply for a social security card. Without this card, he cannot take the driver's license, cannot apply for a credit card, and even rent an apartment, so he can only stay in a hotel. He also needs to change his visa.

Kevin and Jensen took Xiao Yifei to the Social Security Bureau and the Immigration Bureau, filled out a bunch of documents, submitted a bunch of information, and then waited for the news.

Xiao Yifei and Ryan came to the San Francisco branch of Sosby Real Estate. Originally, if you buy a Napa winery, it should be more suitable to find the Sosby Real Estate Sonoma-Napa branch, but Xiao Yifei's business was too big, so he chose the larger San Francisco branch.

Henry, the head of the real estate agency, warmly received Xiao Yifei. He first boasted about the strength of his firm, and then took out a stack of real estate agency lists of their firm for Xiao Yifei to choose.

Xiao Yifei looked at the list, huh, "fei.yue", Chinese? Yue Fei? When he saw the information, he was a woman, so he was not Yue Fei.

Seeing that Xiao Yifei stopped on this page of information, Henry immediately started to introduce it:

"Mr. Xiao, you have a good vision. Yue is a Chinese. He has joined our business for two years and has completed more than a dozen intermediary businesses. He is the head of our firm. Most of her customers are Chinese who have just arrived in the United States, and their customers are very satisfied with her. Moreover, she is good at making friends with customers. Many customers now often contact her and will enthusiastically help her introduce new customers."

"Okay, that's her."

"I'll call her over right away."

Soon, a young and beautiful Chinese woman came in, with short hair and a professional outfit, making her look neat and capable.

"Mr. Xiao, this is our Yue."

"Hello, Mr. Xiao."

She is Chinese, Xiao Yifei asked directly in Chinese: "Which Fei are you?"

"The concubine's concubine, the concubine."

"Everyone sit down and talk."

“I want to buy Monterrena Winery and their vineyards.”

"ah?"

Ryan, Henry and the concubine were all caught off guard by Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei doesn’t know yet that although Sosby Real Estate International is known as Sosby, its actual operator is not Sosby Company, and Sosby Real Estate International is actually equivalent to a franchise company.

Henry only knew that Jensen, the vice president of Sosby Auction, said that a Chinese rich man wanted to entrust them to buy the industry.

The real estate agent Yue Fei didn't know anything. She just came in and guessed that she was a rich second-generation from China who came to San Francisco to buy a house.

None of them would have thought that the young man in front of him wanted to do such a big business, and it was not a real estate business, but a business.

Xiao Yifei is a semi-filled person. Before coming, he learned about the difference between real estate agents in China and the United States from the Internet. In China, real estate agents usually only sell their clients' real estate, but this is not the case in the United States. In the United States, all sellers register their clients' real estate on one website, so that other brokers can see the sales information and can contact them directly.

In addition, for the buyer, it is also necessary to have a broker. First, he can give you more information on the property. Second, the broker is more familiar with various processes and can save you time and money. Third, the United States generally implements a buyer's responsibility system, that is, after you decide to buy a house, the buyer will investigate many of the past history of the house itself, and the seller may not provide the past history of the house truthfully. For example, whether there are abnormal deaths such as murder, whether there are major safety hazards around or the house itself, the pollution source, etc., or there are provided, but only information from the last three years or even shorter. If you have a buyer's broker, he can help you find this information accurately.

In China, the commissions of intermediary brokers are borne by the buyer, but in the United States, the homeowner agreed on the commission for intermediary when signing a contract with the seller's broker. Generally, it is 6%. If the customer found by the seller's broker purchases the house, or the buyer designates the seller's broker to serve as his broker (this is allowed in California law), then he can get the commission alone. If the buyer's broker brings the client to buy, the broker of both parties will share the commission equally. Of course, the buyer can also give the buyer a fee after the transaction, but the fee is not much, which means that the tips should be given to the restaurant waiter.

In other words, regardless of whether you have a buyer's broker or not, the 6% money is already included in the house price, so you should not let the seller take advantage of it.
