Courtyard light

Chapter 626 Talk (first update)
Xiaoyun wore a blue and white shirt, a pair of beige casual pants, and white flat casual shoes on his lower body.

Her hair is pulled up, and there are two pearl earrings on each ear.

Compared with before, he is now more mature and has a little more heroic spirit between his eyebrows, but this temperament is normal, after all, he manages such a large company.

"Go home!" Xiaoyun felt very strange when he heard the words "go home."

Xiaoyun also brought a female bodyguard to help transport the luggage.

"Kyoto has changed so much." Liu Hai felt a little embarrassed until he got in the car. Xiaoyun sat in the passenger seat, and Dabao and Erbao sat in the back. After leaving the platform, Xiaoyun looked at the wide street and all kinds of cars on the street, and... There are motorcycles.

"Kyoto has indeed developed very well in recent years. Thank you for your hard work on Hong Kong Island, raising two children by yourself." Liu Hai still felt a little guilty in his heart.

"I heard that you are still alone now?" Xiaoyun turned to look at Liu Hai who was driving.

Speaking of which, Liu Hai started driving a car when he was young. At that time, many factory directors had not yet driven a car.

"I'm very busy at work." Liu Hai found an excuse to say.

The two of them were held by Liu Hai. At this time, there was no longer the strange feeling at the beginning, but they didn't feel too familiar either, because Liu Hai's outfit was a bit out of place with what they usually saw, even though they had seen each other in the photos. pass.

The two often heard their mother and grandfather talking about the old house.

"I heard that a five-star square was built in Kyoto?"

Both Dabao and Erbao looked curiously at the plants and trees in the courtyard.

"I'll take you to play tomorrow." Liu Hai said.

"This house has been vacant these years, and the government regularly sends people to repair it. I hired some old craftsmen to renovate it some time ago," Liu Hai said.

Although Liu Hai didn't understand why the boy was so obsessed with Transformers toys, and he knew from the information that Dabao and Erbao also liked them very much, so he prepared this gift.

"Dad!" When the two heard this, they quickly knelt down to Liu Hai.

"Some foreign designers and architects have praised the Five-Star Plaza." Xiaoyun asked again.

The green belts, street lights and tall buildings on both sides of the road are very different from the Kyoto I remember.

Then there was another moment of silence. Xiaoyun looked at the scenery outside the window that had changed drastically from when he left, especially the wide road.

"Thank you." Xiaoyun opened the box and looked at a set of purple emeralds placed on the snow-white silk.

"Xiaoyun, this is a set of gifts I prepared for you." Liu Hai took out a set of purple jade jewelry. This is a set of top-quality purple jade jewelry. Although the type is not as high as glass, the purple is very rich.

After the bodyguard moved the things into the house, the bodyguard went to live in another place.

"It's still the same here, it's still the same as when I was a child." Standing at the door of the courtyard, Xiaoyun looked at the house, feeling a little dazed because the streets outside had changed so much, but this place seemed to still be where he was when he was a child.

The group of people chatted here and there, and then returned to the father-in-law's house.

"Dabao, Erbao." Xiaoyun looked at Dabao and Erbao again at this time.

"There are two boxes here, which contain a complete set of collector's edition Transformers, and two sets of the first edition 001.002." Liu Hai opened the box after speaking.

"I also prepared a gift for you two." Liu Hai said and took the two people to the next room. There were two large boxes on the ground in this room.

Liu Hai quickly pulled the two of them up and said, "We are not going to do this."

It gives people a sense of time and space.

In fact, these two sets of bangs have long been entrusted to dealers to keep.

Even if the Dabao and Erbao cannot be given away here, they can be given to grandchildren or something else in the future.

"Ah!" Dabao Erbao still couldn't believe it. After all, it was too difficult to collect the entire set of Transformers toys.

Not to mention the first edition of 001 and 002 sets.

The first edition was also the first batch of Transformers toys. It is said that these toys were snapped up at a high price at that time.

Liu Hai opened the two boxes, and each toy inside came with a certification document.

"Mother, mother, it's true, it's true." Erbao quickly picked up a packaged airplane, carefully read the certification documents that came with the package, and jumped up happily.

"Thank you!" Xiaoyun didn't know about Liu Hai's Transformers, and thought Liu Hai had asked the state department to come forward to find two sets of toys.

"Dad, how did you do that?" Dabao looked at the toys in his hands. Each part of each toy has a number. This is the collector's edition.

"This is a secret." Liu Hai couldn't explain in detail.

Seeing the happy look of Dabao and Erbao, Liu Hai felt relieved.

Watching the two children looking at every toy in the box very carefully, Erbao said that he would put these in his toy room and let all his friends come to visit, while Dabao looked at every toy carefully, probably Some have never been seen before.

"You have worked hard all these years in Kyoto." Liu Hai saw the two children happily looking at his gifts, and then came out with Xiaoyun. The two of them walked while looking at the plants and trees in the yard. , Xiaoyun said.

"It's you who has worked hard. How long will you stay here this time?" Liu Hai took the initiative to ask.

"I'll be back for a week, but I can bring the kids back for 10 days during the winter vacation." When Xiaoyun heard Liu Hai asking this question, she knew that Liu Hai had another meaning, so she squeezed her hands tightly and said.

"I don't feel comfortable handing over many properties outside to outsiders. From now on, these properties will be handed over to Dabao and Erbao." Xiaoyun explained again.

Then he looked back at Liu Hai who was following behind him: "Can't you go to Hong Kong Island?"

Liu Hai took a deep breath and shook his head: "It doesn't matter if you are outside, I will explain some things clearly to you when the time comes."

Of course Liu Hai couldn't go out. Liu Hai knew that if he said he wanted to follow Xiaoyun, not only would he not be able to leave, but Xiaoyun and the two children might not be able to leave either.

Of course, Liu Hai didn't want to go outside, because there was no place for him to be useful outside.

"But I can bring my two children back to see you often, as long as nothing happens to you." Xiaoyun's words are a bit vague, which means that if there are no problems with the policy, you can still come back often.

"I'll make the arrangements then." Liu Hai decided to get a private jet then. It's not that Xiaoyun can't afford a private jet now, but the foreign private jet Xiaoyun bought doesn't have the convenience of flying domestically with his own private jet.

Liu Hai believes that if he comes forward to buy a private jet produced by himself, it will definitely be much easier to fly domestically than foreign aircraft, and he will definitely have many privileges.

"My father listened to your advice and started business in glasses and real estate. Over the years, a lot of my money has been invested in real estate."

"The land I bought to build the house seven or eight years ago has quadrupled in price now. My dad still has shares in a port."

"He said his business is half of yours, and he will come back to discuss it with you in detail." Xiaoyun talked about the industry again.

"Leave the property outside to Dabao Erbao." Liu Hai nodded and said directly.

"Brother, who is our father?" Erbao secretly asked Dabao in the room.

"Why did you say that?" When Dabao heard this, he turned to look at his brother.

"Don't think that I'm young and don't know that so many aristocratic brats over there in Niu Niu haven't gotten the full set of Collector's Edition Transformers," Erbao said in a low voice.

"Don't call people cubs like my grandpa." Dabao quickly taught his younger brother a lesson, because his grandfather liked to call the children of the nobles "little cubs", as well as yellow-haired cubs and red-haired cubs.

He also told his two brothers not to imitate those red-haired brats.

"I'm just talking in private." Erbao nodded when he heard this.

"I don't know, I was still young when I left." Dabao shook his head.

The aristocratic dealer wanted to do this gimmick, and the reason why the children of the aristocratic dealer did not have a complete set of toys was mainly because they did not have enough points.

If the children of these aristocratic dealers all have the same skills, then there will be basically none circulating in the market, because there are many grandchildren of aristocratic dealers.

Nowadays, the aristocratic dealers are constantly increasing the population. Because the industry is getting bigger and bigger, the successors need to be selected from the best. The larger the base, the better the candidates will be.

If there are only three or five crooked melons and cracked dates, even if you choose again, you won't be able to choose a good one.

In the yard, Xiaoyun looked at the jujube tree in front of him: "This is the jujube tree. It looked like it was when I left, and it looks like it is now."

"A jujube tree stops growing very much after a certain point."

"Are you still in contact with that guy from the country?"

"Still going back and forth!"

"Aren't you going to let the country boy recognize you?"

"His grandparents are still there. The old man is old, and this is his grandson."

"Then why don't you find another one? After all, you need someone to inherit everything." Xiaoyun didn't feel strange at all when he heard this. Xiaoyun's mother was not the first wife in the first place, and Hong Kong Island With the current climate, Xiaoyun is used to seeing the faces of wealthy people, including his own father.

Xiaoyun would understand as long as she said she wouldn't hook up with married women.

"I still can't let you go." Liu Hai sighed slightly.

"I can't leave behind so many properties abroad, and Dabao and Erbao are used to life outside. I don't want them to live the same life I had before in Kyoto." When Xiaoyun said this, he moved his hands naturally Hold the arm with bangs.

"Even if we let them come back to study now, will they be able to manage our huge industry in the future? I have been outside for so many years, but I know that doing business is not only about own management, but also about relationships."

"I know you have a lot of credit for this, otherwise, those dealers would not treat us as VIPs." Xiaoyun rested his head on Liu Hai's shoulder and looked at the fruitful jujube tree in front of him.

"Then I'll have to work hard for you from now on." Liu Hai nodded, and what Xiaoyun said made sense.

"But you must always be wary of those capitalists. They are your friends when you are strong. When you are in trouble, they will make things worse for you." Liu Hai said.

"My father also often told Dabao and Erbao that the red-haired ghosts are not one of our own. It's okay to be nice to them on the surface, but you must be wary in your heart." When Xiaoyun heard this, she felt that Liu Hai was talking to her father. Exactly the same.

Liu Hai chuckled. In his previous life, Liu Hai had watched a movie about a nursing home in the West.

In other words, in the West, when you are old and have no children, and you have property, you are finished.

They will find you a guardian, send you to a nursing home, and then divide your property.

Not only will they sell your house and all your property, but they will also collect your pension. Of course, if you are still a little sober and want to go to a lawyer, they will give you some drugs to keep you in a constant state. The state of unconsciousness.

Don’t talk about freehold property. Your house has a minimum annual tax of 1% to 3%. Imagine that a house worth 100 million will have to pay 1000 to 3000 taxes a month. This is just the real estate tax.

Everyone is familiar with the per capita salary in the West. You can pay this part of the tax when you are working, but when you are old and cannot afford to pay this amount, you will be embarrassed.

This is also the reason why there are so many homeless people in Bald Eagle. Here, if you owe some property rent, you are like an uncle. Even going to court will not have much effect.

But if you owe money in Bald Eagle, they will auction your house without notifying you at all, then deduct their money, and then you can take the money and get out of their house.

Of course, the auction price is generally half of the market price.

Moreover, there is a lot of trouble in this property tax. Liu Hai once knew that this property tax also includes police pensions. If the police pension gap in the area next year is large, then they will float the property tax.

If the area is going to carry out major infrastructure construction next year, such as roads and bridges, then the money will come from the property tax, and then the property tax in the area will also fluctuate next year.

As for the money for free education in public schools, it is actually collected from property taxes based on the number of public schools and the number of students in each region.

There is also the issue of rising house prices. That is to say, if your house was worth $5 million five years ago, you would only have to pay $100 in property taxes every month, but after five years the house price will rise to $1000 million. , the department that collects property taxes adjusts it according to a certain period, and then may charge you a property tax of US$1500 per month.

In other words, your job has not changed, your living environment has not changed, but you will have an extra $500 per month.

If it were another country, I'm afraid it would have been a mess long ago, but overseas you don't dare not to pay, otherwise your house worth 150 million, maybe will be auctioned for you.

And the further you go, the more magical this Western policy becomes. Wind can come in, rain can come in, homeless people can come in, but you can’t. If a homeless man lives in it, you have to pay him water, electricity, real estate tax, and property management fees. If you If you don't pay, the police will come to arrest you.

If this were to happen in China, I'm afraid...

"My father-in-law still sees it very clearly. Are we going to eat roast duck later? Let's go to the teacher's house for dinner in the evening." When Liu Hai heard that his father-in-law was educating his two grandsons, he thought that he was afraid that his family's property would be defrauded by outsiders. I have taught my two grandsons since childhood.
