Chapter 743: My dad is a race car driver
Niu Xiaoqiang was surprised: "You are a professor, aren't you more suitable for education than your aunt? Why do you let her be a dentist responsible for educating children?"
Watson grimaced: "I'm usually busy with research and don't have that much time, so even if I'm a little blind to my own children, I can't say much. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang explained: "Don't you worry that the children don't learn well?"
Watson shook his head: "Don't look at us as if we treat the children very casually, in fact, my wife also has a bottom line, as long as the children do not violate the bottom line, she will not interfere, once the children exceed the bottom line, I will not agree to her." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang's face was full of curiosity: "I don't know what Aunt Linda's bottom line is for the children?"
"You can't poison the West, let alone break the law, and there are no hard and fast requirements for anything else. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang was a little dumbfounded, and said in his heart: This is inevitably too loose.
In China, in addition to these two bottom lines, parents will also teach their children how to behave, such as being warm when meeting guests and being friendly to classmates. The Watson family didn't teach these things, and it's no wonder that their three children became what they are now.
Watson patted Niu Xiaoqiang on the shoulder: "I'll go to school first, if you have something, call my office." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang sighed and watched the professor go out.
When he cleaned up the kitchen and Linda changed her clothes, she took Niu Xiaoqiang to the door of the garage, and when the electric garage slowly rose, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but secretly admire: The United States is developed, and even the garage door is electrically lifted.
There was a bright red Ferrari sports car parked in the garage, Niu Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded, and stammered and asked, "Ah, auntie, this, this is your car?"
Linda took out the key to open the car door and said with a smile: "Of course it's my car, let's get in the car quickly." ”
"Oh, okay. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't figure it out, Linda was just a dentist, how could he afford such a high-end sports car? When the car drove onto the road, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Auntie, this car is quite expensive, right?"
"It's not very expensive, it's only 180,000 dollars. ”
"Isn't $180,000 too expensive?"
"It's a bit expensive for the average person, but it's okay for me. ”
"Did you pay for the car yourself?"
"Well, it's all my own money. ”
"Really, did you really pay for it yourself?"
Linda was amused: "Otherwise, who do you think helped me pay for it?"
"I thought the professor bought it for you. ”
"His salary is not as high as mine, but now that he has a company, he is almost catching up with me in terms of income. ”
Watson's annual salary is about $120,000, and his annual income after opening the company is more than $1 million. Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't believe it: "You're just a dentist, how can you earn more than a professor?!"
Linda explained with a smile: "It's normal for you to come to the United States for the first time, and you don't know the income situation in the United States, let me tell you the truth, dentists are high-income professions in the United States, especially among the more top-notch ones, just like me, a year's pre-tax income is about $1.5 million, of course, the premise is that you have to open your own dental practice, if you work in the hospital, you can't earn such a high salary." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang was completely dumbfounded, and stayed for a while before speaking: "In this way, you should be a multimillionaire, right?"
Linda shook her head: "The personal tax in the United States is a bit high, and my personal interests and hobbies are more expensive, so I am only a millionaire until now, a little far from a multimillionaire." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang immediately asked: "I don't know what your hobbies are?"
Linda laughed coquettishly when she heard this, and stepped on the accelerator hard, and the Ferrari immediately lunged forward like a wild horse. Niu Xiaoqiang was taken aback, because the speed of the car was too fast, his whole person was pressed on the seat by inertia, and he couldn't move.
Linda made a beautiful drift when cornering, then slowed down, and glanced at Niu Xiaoqiang quite proudly: "You should know what my personal interests are by now, right?"
Niu Xiaoqiang patted his heart and said with palpitations: "I really didn't expect that your hobby is drag racing." ”
Linda nodded: "To be precise, it's a racing car, I don't like this Ferrari too much, it's too delicate, it's only suitable for driving on city roads, my real car is a Pontiac GTO, I spent nearly a million dollars to modify this car." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang feels that he has been shocked more today than he has been in every year combined, and the cost of refitting a car actually costs nearly one million US dollars, which is more than five times more expensive than Farah!
"Does a modified car cost so much?!"
"Otherwise, what do you think? Even if it is the most conventional rally event, the cost of a car is hundreds of thousands of dollars, if it is the top F1 event, the research and development cost of a car will be more than 10 million dollars, my modified car was originally used to compete, otherwise I would not spend this lot of effort to modify, no way, many spare parts need to be customized, people will not take orders if there is less money." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang wiped his sweat and thought to himself: I really don't know if I don't ask, I am shocked when I ask, the car actually costs so much money! I happen to have the ability to build a car, so it is better to ask clearly, and see if I can get a private job of modifying a car, which will definitely make a lot of money.
As long as there is an opportunity to make money, Niu Xiaoqiang will not let it go. In order to receive the private job of the modified car, Niu Xiaoqiang deliberately approached Linda: "Auntie, you are really a very special woman, your personal hobby is racing, I don't know how you like this industry?"
Linda is obviously extremely passionate about racing, and while driving, she narrates: "My dad is a racing driver, I was influenced by him, I liked the feeling of speeding since I was a child, and then when I grew up, I dreamed of becoming a professional racing driver, but unfortunately many car events do not allow women to participate, I was a little unwilling, through my own efforts to become a high-income dentist, earn money to modify my own racing car, waiting for the event to relax restrictions." ”
She said with a slightly regretful expression: "Just the year before last, I finally waited for an opportunity to participate in the North American Desert Championship that year, but unfortunately the engine burst halfway, otherwise I would have a good chance of getting the ranking, I also participated in last year's competition, but unfortunately there was a car accident, and I didn't even finish the halfway." ”
