Chapter 135: House Technique
Yi Feiyang is the kind of person who requires high efficiency in getting things done, so after a simple negotiation, the villa that was originally worth $580,000 was cut down to $550,000 by him. Of course, if it's confirmed to be sold, the price can be reduced a bit more, but before that, he must go see the house in person. Who knows, maybe the actual condition is far from what was described, and Yi Feiyang would become a real fool.
That real estate agent, York, had already regarded Yifei Yang as the "God of Wealth" from the East. At Yifei Yang's suggestion, he eagerly asked to drive his own car to take him to see that villa. If satisfied, both parties could sign the contract on the spot.
Yi Feiyang didn't expect this York to be even more anxious than himself, looking like a true newcomer, unable to hide the joy in his heart at all, and doing things too hastily. However, this kind of person is exactly what Yi Feiyang likes, at least better than those slow-witted guys who can't even fart after being hit three times.
Yi Feiyang followed York into his personal car, which was not in good condition. As they drove away from the real estate company, Old Oliver, the agent, was almost in tears. The "black and white twins" who were standing at the door to welcome guests were also gone. Yi Feiyang finally hung up the phone, sighed, and thought about what kind of horror movie to make. He couldn't spend too much money, but he wanted it to have a good reputation and most importantly, make a profit... What a headache.
While thinking hard, Yi Feiyang came to a western restaurant to eat something. After all, he had been busy for almost the whole day and it was already around 9 pm, his stomach was growling with hunger.
This Western restaurant is quite clean, and the Western food they serve isn't bad either. At least Yi Feiyang alone ate three steaks, leaving a few foreigners at the next table staring in amazement.
Just as Yi Feiyang was savoring the black pepper steak in his plate, he suddenly heard a familiar voice say: "Hey, sir, it looks like you're really enjoying the steak. Would you like another cup of hot coffee to perk yourself up?" A black little fatty with a bow tie around his neck held a tray and asked with a smile.
Yi Feiyang found him familiar, his accent was also familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he said: "Alright, have a cup of strong tea, thank you."
The black waiter was very efficient and quickly brought over a hot cup of coffee, politely placing it in front of Yi Fei Yang before saying, "Please enjoy your drink, sir."
After he finished speaking, he stood beside me but didn't leave yet.
Yi Feiyang raised an eyebrow: "What else is there?"
The little black boy smiled and said: "You look like you've had a busy day."
"Yes," Yi Feiyang said with emotion, "people are like this, they used to be idle and penniless, now they have money but are getting busier and busier..."
"Yeah, that's what I'm saying, a lot of people are like this, having money but no time, having time but no money." said the black fat man.
Yi Feiyang was taken aback, "Having money but no time, having time but no money?" It seemed like he had said this sentence before.
The black fat man continued, "But as a human being, you must think more broadly and not ruin your body for the sake of money. When you have free time, go out and travel more, don't always bury your head in the office... Of course, when traveling, you must also pay attention to safety, such as I have a buddy, about your age, who once went to Texas to attend the Terminator movie premiere party... Do you know Texas? That's where the chainsaw killer appeared..."
Yi Feiyang was increasingly familiar with the "dialogue" in front of him, like a script, and couldn't help but say: "What's going on? Your buddy was killed by a chainsaw?"
"No, he didn't have such good luck. The chainsaw killer wasn't just going to kill anyone, it's all in the movies, most of the ones who get killed are beauties... My buddy was really unlucky, his car started smoking halfway down the road, he thought he was out of gas, so he opened the gas tank to check, but it was nighttime, and to see clearly inside the gas tank, he took out a lighter... The result is predictable, he wasn't the real Terminator, boom! It exploded, and in an instant, he was gone!"
Just as Xiao Pangzi was enthusiastically talking while holding a tray, Yi Feiyang suddenly remembered who this guy was.
Last year I went to visit the great writer Stephen King, on my way back I stopped at a gas station, and the guy who filled up my tank was this black dude right in front of me.
The black fat brother obviously hadn't recognized the familiar face in front of him, who owed him "gas money", and continued to chatter on, "Anyway, as a person, you must have foresight, learn to protect yourself and your family members. Just like my poor friend, although he's dead, but he bought insurance, and it was a large sum! The insurance company is really righteous, after figuring out the truth, they didn't say much and directly compensated..."
"So, buddy, for your own and family's safety, for a future where your family can get some comfort, you must have the consciousness to buy insurance. One person insured, whole family happy! By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. Serving dishes in this restaurant is just my hobby; actually, I'm the manager of AIG Insurance Company... How about getting a full-coverage policy? Our company is currently doing great, and if you insure for 10,000, we'll give you 3,000 back!"
Yi Feiyang: "!!!!!!"
"How is it that your company seems to be offering discounts every year? And they're all 'buy one million, get three thousand free'?" Yi Feiyang couldn't help but ask.
The black fat brother was stunned, "How did you know?"
Yi Feiyang shrugged, "As it happens, I have a friend who is also in the insurance business, and as it happens, he's also black, and as it happens, he's also fat, only... he was pumping gas at a gas station..."
The black fat brother finally recognized who Yi Feiyang was, and his old face couldn't help but turn red. He thought to himself, "No need to deceive myself like this, even if I don't buy insurance."
Yi Feiyang smiled slightly and took out 300 US dollars, putting it on the black fat brother's tray.
The black fat brother was stunned and said: "Three steaks and a cup of coffee can't cost that much."
"This hundred is for food, this hundred is for gas, and this hundred is for tips..."
"Ah, a $100 tip? Wow, boss, you're really a good guy!" The black fat brother was extremely grateful. Those damned customers were all so stingy, the most they would give as a tip was only one dollar.
"This is yours because you helped me out big time."
"What? When did I help you?"
"Just now." Yì Fēi Yáng smiled and said, "Alright, I'm going to write something now..."
"I understand, I won't bother you anymore!" The black fat brother left with a smile on his face, pocketing the 100 yuan tip.
Yi Feiyang took out a notebook for recording furniture, turned to a page and wrote down a few big words - "Electric Saw Horror"! (....)
