Chapter 764 Housekeeping Staff
The name of a Microsoft executive really worked. That night, Neil brought the contract and came to the hotel where Feng Yu was staying.
When the door opened and saw six tall and strong bodyguards coming out, Neil's legs were so frightened that his legs went limp. Mr. Feng was going to do something to him, right?
Of course, Feng Yu would not do anything to Neil. After Wilson reviewed the contract, Feng Yu signed it, then wrote a Citibank check for one million dollars, and told Neil that the extra ten thousand dollars was for I hope that your tip and related procedures can be completed as soon as possible.
Neil nodded his head, as expected of a Microsoft executive, this is a generous move, a tip of 10,000 US dollars!
The bodyguards all looked at Neil with envy. For such a small matter, he earned a tip of 10,000 US dollars. The employer is really generous!
And Feng Yu was also secretly observing these bodyguards. Fortunately, all he saw were envious eyes, not jealousy, which also made him very satisfied with these bodyguards.
Feng Yu didn't move into that house right away, and some things in it had to be bought new. The furniture didn't need to be replaced, but the home appliances should be replaced with new ones.
If you can use the Fengfeng brand, use the Fengfeng brand. If you don’t have a Fengfeng brand, use Philips. Other brands are not considered for the time being. There are also useless books in the study room, all of which are given away. Feng Yu is not interested in using those books that he doesn't read at all to decorate his bookshelf. Buy a few sets of novels by Gu Long, Jin Yong and other martial arts masters, and read them every day when you are bored.
Of course, economic magazines should also be bought, such as "Forbes", "Fortune", "Bloomberg Businessweek", "The Economist", the four major financial magazines, Feng Yu still must buy.
But economic books. Feng Yu was not interested in buying it. Those who read books like Carnegie's success theory in the previous life, who copied Carnegie's way? It is clearly just a kind of chicken soup for the soul, and it talks about some big principles that everyone knows, just because of the word Carnegie. To make everyone believe it.
From Feng Yu's point of view, that kind of book doesn't make any sense! It's not as good as the "Sub-health" he asked someone to compile. At least "Sub-health" also tells a lot of knowledge that many people don't usually know.
As for the "cursed" house, Feng Yu asked Wilson to go through the formalities, and he planned to tear it down. Rebuild one, and then use the yard to enclose the two villas.
Dogs can be kept in the yard, of course, it can be isolated from the outside world, and maybe a helicopter pad can be built inside.
At this time, domestic aviation control has not yet been opened. Private individuals are not allowed to buy helicopters at all. But in the United States, it is much more relaxed, and the aviation control is very loose, but a lot of taxes need to be paid.
Moreover,
Where is this? Seattle, where Boeing is headquartered. Boeing does not only have large planes and transport helicopters. There are also civilian helicopters, but they are not very famous. As long as you buy them from Boeing, you don't have to worry about the procedures.
Feng Yu deeply felt the inconvenience of the country of America. To build a house, you must get the consent of your neighbors, and it cannot be super high or super high. You can't block other people's sunlight, you can't have a different style from other people's houses, and even the colors need to be consistent...
Can't be like this, can't be like that, damn, a lot of shit!
Fortunately, there are Wilson and Ralph, otherwise Feng Yu would have to do these things by himself, and he would be bored to death. If you change the floor at home, you must inform the neighbors in advance, otherwise if there is a big movement, you will be complained and the police will be called!
The house is getting bigger, and Feng Yu also needs to hire some housekeeping staff, such as cleaning staff, such as cooks who know Chinese food, such as gardeners who take care of the lawn, and so on.
Although temporary workers can be hired to do these things, Feng Yu feels that it is more appropriate to hire regular people, so as not to be filled with unfamiliar faces every time, who knows if there are bad-hearted people among them.
...
One house has been redecorated, and a construction company has been invited to start construction on the other side. Today, several housekeeping staff came to interview, and Feng Yu had to make a decision himself.
"Boss, this is a couple who once worked as domestic service at the home of a Chinese engineer in Boeing, but the engineer was transferred to another state, so they are temporarily unemployed. The two of them once opened a Chinese restaurant. It is said that The craftsmanship is not bad, but I don’t know Chinese food either, so I can’t make a judgment.” Ralph held a document and explained it to Feng Yu while reading it.
"Are they American?"
"No, they are Chinese, and they come here on work visas. This month, if they can't find a job, they will be deported. Their son is studying at the University of Washington, and they are here to work to earn tuition for their son. Yes, their son is graduating next year."
Feng Yu nodded. Studying in the United States can actually work part-time by himself. When Feng Yu was in college in his previous life, he worked as a part-time student. Perhaps this student's parents also think that money in the United States is easy to make. After all, in recent years, many people think that the United States is full of gold.
Of course, if you can endure hardship and find a job in the United States, you will definitely earn more than you do in China.
"Hello, Mr. Feng." Two plainly dressed middle-aged couples walked in, with a somewhat restrained expression, and deliberately bowed to Feng Yu. This sentence was also spoken by the man in English.
"I'm from Huaxia, so I can speak Chinese."
The two of them obviously relaxed a lot. The man bent down and said, "Mr. Feng, I am a gardener in China. My skills are absolutely very good. Besides, I can also clean swimming pools, know electricians, and can repair many things. I will do a lot, as long as you can keep me, I can ask for a lower salary. My wife can cook, even opened a small restaurant in China, and can also clean, and the salary requirement is not high."
"Salary is not a problem, I'm curious, do you understand English? How did you get the work visa?"
It turned out that the two sons knew the Boeing engineer. The engineer was also Chinese. He felt sorry for them, so he helped them get work visas through an intermediary company so that they could come to the United States to make money.
But the engineers were just helping out, and now they were transferred to other states, so naturally they wouldn't take them with them, so the two lost their jobs.
The man has gone to high school and knows a little simple English. He is at the point of skipping words, and it is difficult to communicate with others, but it is still no problem to buy groceries. The woman doesn't understand any English, but she looks very clean.
"You take care of that lawn and flowerbed. I have some vegetables bought by someone in the kitchen, and you can watch to make four dishes. If you can satisfy me, we can talk about salary. If not, don't talk to me Everything I mention is about the Chinese people." Feng Yu will not be kidnapped by some favor, and he doesn't know them at all, so it's not a problem to be sent back to China.
"Thank you, Mr. Feng, I'm sure you're satisfied." The two backed away while bowing. The woman went to work in the kitchen, and the man immediately went to the garage to find tools. Both of them were working hard to express themselves.
"There are others, call in and continue the interview."
... (To be continued.)
