Chapter 247 Palm Beach (2)
Although Palm Beach is located in the northern hemisphere, and the northern hemisphere has entered late autumn at this time, and it has even snowed in places with high latitudes, Palm Beach also ushered in a peak flow of people at this time, but even so, there are not many people on the beach First, because most of the beaches here are private areas, tourists from other places can only visit a few free beaches.
Second, and most importantly, many residents of Palm Beach do not live here for a long time, but use the real estate here as a winter vacation house, and only live there for 2-3 months a year to avoid the cold, and the rest of the time is worth hundreds of dollars Real estate worth tens of millions and tens of millions of dollars are idle, and the resident population of the entire island is about 10,000 people, even in the current peak season, it is only about 30,000 people, so you will never see crowds in Palm Beach. scene.
When Yang Cheng and the others arrived at Palm Beach, it was already 6 o'clock in the evening, Eastern time. Under the romantic orange sunset, there was a peaceful and serene atmosphere everywhere they went. Only a few old people could be seen leisurely from time to time. Under the awning by the sea, silently looking at the junction of the sea and the sky, enjoying the beauty of the sunset on the sea.
After getting off the plane, the team that greeted Yang Cheng and David Ellison went to Worth Avenue because they had received the 'task' assigned by Xiao Li. Worth Avenue is comparable to the existence of New York's Fifth Avenue. Major luxury brands and individuals The boutiques are all gathered on the avenue, and the good weather and the beautiful scenery like oil paintings are the unique advantages of Worth Avenue, which is incomparable to Fifth Avenue.
After getting off the car, strolling on the street leading to the winery, many old ladies who look like they are in their 60s are wearing stilettos and bright pink lips. They are as elegant as celebrities, and they are wearing generous and decent clothes. , wearing expensive jewelry and exquisite makeup, even in middle age and old age, they still maintain a fit, wide figure and exquisite head-to-toe.
Some of them went shopping with their girlfriends, some took their husbands by the hand, and the gentlemen were all in good spirits, with neat oily hair, bright shirts and shorts, paired with shiny leather shoes, showing off their firm muscles generously.
There is a saying that "it is better to have a good man around you than to wear countless gold, silver and jewels." These rich wives seem to have both. If conservative Z people see their outfits, they will probably criticize them for being coquettish~ no Observing women's morals, but in fact this is a manifestation of a mentality, a young mentality that is not taken away by time.
Yang Cheng and David Ellison did a great job. They directly packed most of the wine in a winery, loaded it into a truck and followed the convoy to Xiao Lizi's estate. This guy organized a pool party and found the wine in the wine cellar at the end. Not enough, so he had to call Yang Cheng and his friends for help.
Driving on the endless seaside road, one side is the white sandy beach and the blue Atlantic Ocean, and the other side is countless luxury mansions. The private mansions in Palm Beach have a strong sense of design, and each one has its own characteristics. Unlike the side of Worth Avenue, which is planned by the Palm Beach Regional Committee, the manors around the seaside are specially tailored by architects according to the preferences of the owners of the mansions. Because the owners of these mansions come from all over the world, the whole Palm Beach almost condenses the architectural art features on the earth.
But there is also the same place. These mansions all use a lot of green plants, such as palm trees, to cover the entire manor, not only for beauty, but also for privacy.
Little Plum's home is located on the southeast seashore of Palm Beach, a manor full of Caribbean style.
"Hey, David, Jason, you are all welcome. In addition, thank you for the red wine." After receiving the notice, Xiao Li, as the host, greeted them outside the gate early, and gave them a warm hug as soon as they got off the car.
"Leon, you still know how to play! How is it? Are the girls here? I can't wait." Yang Cheng looked around, as if looking for a slim figure.
Xiao Lizi tossed her blond hair and joked, "Don't worry, the girls just finished training for a day,
It takes an hour to drive here from Miami. "
David Ellison also added on the side, "Don't mention it, if I hadn't stopped this kid, he would have rushed over the day before yesterday."
Yang Cheng gave each of them a middle finger, "Don't pretend to be innocent with me, what are you doing here, don't you have any B numbers in your mind?"
David Ellison saw the bickering, so he had no choice but to change the subject. He visited the lush manor and said, "The real estate in Palm Beach is getting more and more expensive. Leon, you made an early move. How much did you spend to buy this manor?"
Xiao Lizi led the two inside, and introduced the landscape of the manor, "I bought it for less than 30 million US dollars. My neighbor just sold his manor a few days ago, which is slightly smaller than mine. Big, it sold for a total of 65 million US dollars, although my house has not been appraised, but it can be sold for 60 million. "
Yang Cheng looked at the sparkling infinity pool. There was a busy scene by the pool. The workers had already set up a DJ booth and laser lights to prepare for the party at night.
Hearing the conversation between the two, he interjected, "To be honest, I'm really speechless about the fact that Palm Beach is always blown by typhoons, and after I buy it, I don't live for long every year. It's a waste."
Leon felt the same way, "You're right, Jason. The maintenance money alone is too much for me to deal with. If someone offers a reasonable price, I'll definitely sell it."
David Ellison inherited his father's local tyrant style, and waved his hand, "Leon, why don't you just transfer it to me? How about 55 million?"
Xiao Lizi asked in surprise, "Are you kidding me? If it's serious, 55 million is fine. After the money is in hand, I'll go to the north to buy a smaller manor."
"Will I make fun of this? It's settled like this. I will send a lawyer to handle the transfer procedures after the party is over, but you have to give me ample time for the house payment, and it will be settled within half a year." It can be seen that David Ery Sen really liked this manor, walking all the way, touching the statues in the garden from time to time.
"That's easy to say, let's go, I'll show you some new friends, all neighbors who live nearby."
As a result, the three of them walked through the garden and entered the main building. After a quick glance, they realized that they were all acquaintances.
The eldest son and grandson of the Koch family, Conrad Koch, Wall Street financial circle Martin Gulus, printing giant Peter Brant, Broadway producer Terry Lamar, vice president of Fufufu Robert Forbes, and Schwarzenegger Ge, Tiger Woods, the Beckhams and other cultural and sports celebrities, in addition to these business tycoons and entertainment big names, there are also several retired political celebrities, luxury designers and other fashion big names, no wonder Xiao Li has raised this manor for so many years He refuses to let go. To be able to weave such a rich network of resources is worth the money. Xiao Lizi is a smart person!
Yang Cheng and David Ellison came separately to chat with the group of tycoons. Although people from the business circle and the cultural and sports circle sat together in the living room, they were clearly separated. They were all sitting on the sofa, and only Schwarzenegger, who had served as the governor of California, sat with him at the end.
After saying hello to Xiao Li, Yang Cheng and David Ellison came to the empty sofa next to Conrad Koch and sat down. They each ordered a glass of red wine, and someone brought up a topic, "Jason, new era Did the media successfully acquire DreamWorks Animation?"
