Chapter 1117 1116. A Kind of Friendship (55)
Li Du's trip to New York was fruitless, and Callestan wanted to play tricks, but the latter was different from the general opponents Li Du had met, and he had not been hostile to him all the time.
After he chatted with President Cole, as soon as he walked out of the Winston Group, Callistan's car drove over, which was also a Rolls-Royce.
Li Du looked at him coldly, wanting to see what tricks he was playing.
As a result, Carlestan gave him a smile, which seemed very sincere: "Li, it's getting late, why don't you come to my house as a guest? Yesterday was my wife's and my wedding anniversary. We are a little bit unique about the relationship between husband and wife. opinion."
Americans pay special attention to marriage anniversaries, and they give names to each year's wedding anniversaries. For example, one year is called a paper wedding, two years is called a cloth wedding, ten years is called a tin wedding, and fifty years is called a golden wedding.
Porcelain wedding is a synonym for the 20th anniversary of marriage. It may seem to the Chinese that the wedding anniversary is named after porcelain, which seems fragile, but this is not the case in American culture.
Porcelain in American porcelain weddings is not the concept that we Chinese always think that porcelain will break once it falls. In the West, especially in the past when naming wedding anniversaries, porcelain is a very precious thing. Will pick it up and refill.
Therefore, a porcelain wedding is like a golden wedding or a silver wedding. It is a marriage status after a certain year. .
Li Du was quite surprised by Carlestan's words. He did not expect that he would have such a smooth marriage, which lasted for twenty years, which is remarkable.
But considering that Karestan's children are all in their twenties, it's not normal for them to get married just after a porcelain wedding.
If the other party invites Li Du with other reasons, Li Du will refuse, because he doesn't have a good impression of Karestan.
But he couldn't refuse this reason, because Li Du was about to get engaged to his fiancée, and he envied those couples who held hands together for the rest of their lives. Like other youngsters who were about to enter their married life, he wanted to learn from these people.
Li Du was silent for a while, and got into the car with Brother Lang.
Reaching out without hitting the smiling person, the other party showed friendship, and he had to temporarily accept that in the American business field, this is the way to behave in the world.
In the car, Callestan chatted with him like an old friend.
He is a master of topics, and he can easily find topics that can be discussed with Li Du. Callestan did not mention jewelry, diamonds, or their disputes. Instead, he first congratulated Li Du on his upcoming engagement, and then recalled the time when he and his wife were young. bit by bit.
It has to be said that this successfully attracted Li Du. Li Du was curious about life in the United States twenty years ago at first, and then Karestan interspersed the interesting story of his and his wife's love affair at the beginning, so that he could not feel disgusted.
When he got off the car, Li Du was already able to joke with Karestan.
If it weren't for the hundreds of millions of conflicts of interest, he might even become friends with Callestan now.
This kind of opponent made Li Du a little overwhelmed. He was good at dealing with those crazy dog opponents who like to fight head-to-head, such as Boll and York's partner, dog-eared Rick, and the head of state and others.
The opponents he had been in contact with in the past liked to stare at him and bite like a mad dog. Li Du could see his tricks and fight back with stronger means.
Callestan is regarded by him as an opponent, but the opponent's moves like spring rain make him strong and lack of balance.
But he also knows that it is unwise for him to compare Callestan with those people. Callestan is not worth less than he is now, and he is also a rich man with billions or even billions.
At their level, there are only interests, no enemies, let alone fighting.
Callestan suppressed Li Du at the beginning because Li Du was a newcomer to Cole's faction. When Li Du developed into a giant and might compete with him and Cole, he changed his attitude.
He now regards Li Du as a super potential stock and a powerful bull stock. There is no doubt that this kind of person is not suitable to be an opponent, but should be a friend.
Callestan's house is in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, which is a well-known rich area in the United States.
To Li Du's surprise, he didn't live in a villa, but an apartment building. Li Du was still surprised when he said it on Carlestan Road. This house is a bit too simple, right?
But when he arrived downstairs, he didn't think so. Callestan's residence was called 432 Park Ave, a tall building with a height of 426 meters.
This building, Li Du knew, is the second tallest building in New York and the third tallest building in the United States after the new World Trade Center, but unlike the top two tallest buildings, it is not a commercial office building, but a residential building.
The tallest residential building in the world!
Karestan lives on the 92nd floor. From the bottom to the top, the luxury level of this building increases successively. The bottom floor has four households on two floors, and then there are two floors on the upper floor. When it reaches the 50th floor, there are one household on each floor. !
The elevator directly enters Karestan's home from the underground garage, and when the elevator door is opened, it is a living room with an area of 20 square meters. This is the front hall, which is not considered a 'home'.
After going through two more doors, it is considered that he actually entered Callestan's house.
In the elevator, Li Du chatted with Carlestan about this house. The house has an area of 8,255 square feet, or 767 square meters. There are eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and six halls...
As for the price, Callestan said lightly: "I don't know, it should be around 80 million. I don't pay attention to housing prices, I don't play real estate."
How much is an 80 million dollar mansion in RMB? Five hundred million!
No wonder people can't stop talking about their villas in Phoenix. How much are the villas there? Only two or three million.
Callestan's wife was already waiting in the living room. She was a woman with a gentle smile. She looked older than Callestan, with long flowing hair and a calm demeanor.
After his wife greeted Li Du in a friendly manner, she went to the kitchen. Carlestan packed up some things and let Li Du wander around by himself.
There were only two people and a nanny in the huge room. Li Du stood in the living room and looked out. The first thing he saw was the famous Central Park in New York.
432 Park Ave is at the southeast corner of Central Park. For many Americans, Central Park is a tourist attraction, but for people like Callestan, it is just a back garden.
The size of the glass on the wall of the living room is ten square meters, and the height of the wall of the house is four meters. There are such large French windows all around, so you can enjoy a 360-degree view of New York.
The Big Apple City is at Li Du's feet at this moment. He overlooks this city known as the heart of the world like an emperor, and it is inevitable that a sense of lofty arrogance will appear in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Li Du decided to buy a house. He has enough money now, so he wants to buy such a big house.
It's not how it looks or how it looks like, but living in such a place will greatly help people's vision and heart, and it will also help men's careers.
