Chapter 10 864 Stella Della Road

Han Yi's beating wasn't direct, but it wasn't cryptic either.

As the party holding money to buy goods, he saw through Brandon Williams' strategy and used combo punches to stun customers, turning them into marionettes dancing to the rhythm.

Will there be customers who will eat this set?Of course, some people just hope that the brokers who serve them are as strong as possible.The stronger they are, the more these people feel that the broker is professional, and the more at ease they feel.

As for how this kind of house buyers have the budget to buy a luxury house in Beverly Hills, you might as well ask their parents who funded them.

Every year, the sons of wealthy families fly from all over the world to Los Angeles to buy properties like crucian carp in the river. Even if they cover the sky with their hands in their hometown, they will inevitably show their cowardice when they come to Beverly Hills, the world's top wealth gathering place.

At this time, it is the turn of Pick-Up Artists like Brandon Williams to show their talents.

Of course, the client doesn't have to obey Brandon for the strategy to work.There are some men whose growth environment, educational background and endogenous personality are very similar to those of Brandon. This side of Brandon can quickly gain their recognition and love.

This is who I was 30 years ago.Taking advantage of this mentality, Brandon got a lot of commissions from the old white man.

Another situation is that the client hates Brandon's attitude, doesn't like his condescension, and chooses to fight against him.But this is the most ingenious part. The mentality of doing it against you will help the salesman to better control your emotions.

Correct guidance of negative emotions can make people make impulsive decisions that are usually unimaginable.

Isn't that the kind of Shenhao who wants to clear out other people's inventory and rush to give commissions to his enemies because he looks down on him for luxury sales, isn't that how he is manipulated by others?
Therefore, Han Yi did not choose any of the above paths.He turned his head and left, overturning the table in front of him first.This is the confidence given to him by the $1.85 million in his bank account, and of course the experience he has gained from dealing with all kinds of people in the past seven years.

His attitude is very clear, I don't play your games.If you want to do business with me, do it the way I like.If you can get the hang of it, refusing to visit the first property is a trivial little objection.If you still want to play your own game, there are plenty of elite brokers in Beverly Hills who want to earn 2% commission.

In the new world, Han Yi was not prepared to be manipulated by anyone.

Brandon - Williams is a smart guy, in fact, this is not the first time someone expressed his attitude in this way.When he came to the second property, Brandon changed his fraternity initiation ceremony-like appearance, and did his best to introduce, answering every question.

Brandon changed his attitude, and Han Yi naturally stopped pursuing it. Others had already captured the information and made a change for his own attitude, and if he pursued the attack again, it would appear that he lost his due sense of proportion.

Priorities and priorities must be clearly distinguished. His most important goal today is to buy a real estate that can generate strong positive emotions for him.

Competing with others, how can you enjoy the beauty of architectural art?
Han Yi could figure it out, but the reality made him a little disappointed.

They had already seen three mansions, each of which had its own distinctive features, but they never touched Han Yi's heartstrings.

The first property to visit is located at 9945 Beverly Boulevard, built in 2015, with six full-scale bedrooms, seven bathrooms, three washrooms, four parking spaces, wine cellar, gym, private cinema and even large floor-to-ceiling windows Yoga room, everything is available.The quality of the house itself was good. Except for the intricately patterned marble walls that made Han Yi frown, the decoration style also met his requirements.

But the most fatal disadvantage is that No. 9945 Beverly Boulevard is in the middle of the mountainside, and there are several luxury houses that are basically level in front. The designer had to plant a large number of privacy hedges to ensure privacy, which makes the view larger. affected to a certain extent.Only half of downtown Hollywood can be seen to the south, and the west side is completely blocked by trees.

With 5289 million discretionary cash in hand, and they have to reimburse them for buying things they like, Han Yi really doesn't have to worry too much about this property with an quoted price of 2580 million US dollars.

If you buy Beverly Hills without a panoramic view, you might as well go to Malibu to enjoy the sea breeze.

The second house, 10102 Angelo View Road, has the best view in Los Angeles. You can see its selling point just by looking at the place name.10102 Angelo Viewway is located on a protruding part of the Santa Monica Mountains, without any line of sight in front of it. It is built against the mountain, and even the load-bearing columns are fixed on the slope.The villa has a total of three floors, and each floor has a 270-degree view. From the westernmost Pasadena and the city center to the easternmost Santa Monica beach and the Pacific Ocean, you can have a panoramic view of the essence of Los Angeles.

Brandon invited Han Yi to experience it on the deck chairs of the outdoor infinity pool in the salon area on the first floor. The Tiffany blue water reflects the entire picture of Los Angeles, which is indeed impeccable.

The advantages are extremely prominent, but the disadvantages are equally obvious. No. 9945 Beverly Boulevard covers an area of ​​0.74 acres, while No. 10102 Angelo View Road is only 0.34 acres, which is more than half smaller. In order to ensure the sense of scale of the salon area and the master bedroom on the top floor , gymnasium, private theater and other necessary facilities of a luxury house were all cut off, the whole house only has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and only two parking spaces... "Only", the word sounds full of the stench of money, but Considering that the quoted price of this property is 1999 million US dollars, in this price scale, the products presented are indeed not up to the top-notch standard.

And the third choice is in the core area of ​​Bel Air with the highest real estate value in the Platinum Triangle, No. 1250 Bel Air Road.Covering an area of ​​5.58 acres, the house itself is 14301 square feet and has four floors in total. It has all the facilities related to luxury houses, and even specially made a landscape swimming pool that is independent of the villa itself and extends to the end of the mountain.What is even more exaggerated is that there are two landscape trails around the property, both of which are the private property of the house owner.

In a neighborhood where surrounding properties are priced at $3850 million or more, the asking price of $[-] million looks pretty affordable.

However, there is still one key point that dissuaded Han Yi. This villa was built in 1993, that is to say, its design language was formulated 23 years ago. Some aesthetic fatigue.

And this kind of fatigue cannot be solved without knocking out all the interiors and starting over.

A modern building that is no longer modern, in Han Yi's mind, is not as good as those classicist mansions that he doesn't like.

Brandon Williams had been driving his young client up and down the valley of the Platinum Triangle for nearly three hours, but there was no sign of impatience.Purchasing real estate, especially the real estate of the top class, is a labor-intensive task.It is common for many buyers who are interested in households in the platinum triangle to wait for six or seven months, or even a year or two.

After all, not every rich person is like Han Yi, who has nearly 100% asset allocation with short-term liquidity.It is rare for a business tycoon with a net worth of over 1000 million to be able to mobilize more than [-] million in cash. Cash out the equity, sell the existing house, and then make a mortgage loan. Sometimes you need to use other assets as collateral to make up for the insufficient amount , This is the most common state of the Beverly Hills consumer group.

If liquidity is to be drained for a real estate, then everyone hopes to buy a house that is exactly what they want, rather than buying it reluctantly, and finally looking at each other with disgust.

What makes Brandon feel more relaxed is that Han Yi is a person with very clear judgment standards and a strong self-aesthetic, and he will not hesitate too much to accept the details that he doesn't like.As long as there is something that is a little unsatisfactory, it will be killed immediately. This is the reason why they only spent more than two hours visiting the three mansions that add up to almost 7 acres.

Straightforward and decisive, never procrastinating, this is the character label that Brandon Williams put on Han Yi.Originally, he was thought to be a pampered and easy-to-handle rich man from the Far East, but now it seems that even if the wealth is indeed inherited from the family, Han Yi should be an elite who needs to be trained as a successor.

This kind of client is Brandon's favorite, with clear love and hate, and clear goals, which allows him to easily cut off the thorns that hinder decision-making, and quickly find a path that best suits Han Yi's wishes. Such efficiency can greatly speed up the selection of houses The process of home ownership.

Of course, what Brandon didn't know was that the reason why Han Yi made such a quick decision was not only due to his nature, but also because of the limitations of the rules.

The stronger the positive emotions, the higher the return rate, so why convince yourself to like something with little interest?

It's best to fall in love at first sight.

"Gentlemen, here we are."

Brandon threw the Bentley's ignition key on the passenger seat, put on brown Ray-Ban sunglasses, and opened the door.It is now four o'clock in the afternoon, and it is gradually slanting to the west, and the fireball, which is not diminished in the slightest, is at the closest position to them.

In one hour and 47 minutes, the sun will slowly set over the coastline of the Pacific Ocean.

"Co-developed by renowned developers Mr. Jonathan Adler and Dr. Joe Ingranov, the jewel in the crown of Williams & Williams Real Estate, my proudest display, Mr. Paul McLean's masterpiece, the entire The most irreplaceable luxury contemporary villa in Bel-Air...”

"864 Stella Della Road."

864 Stella Della Road is exclusively managed by Brandon-Williams' Williams & Williams real estate company. This mansion was completed in 2015. Since the beginning of its construction, the key to the gate has been in Brandon's hands and has never changed hands.

In the Platinum Triangle where land is at a premium, finding a brand new property is no easy feat.And it is even more difficult to find a modern style that has been built for less than a year.Every new project in a prime position in Bel-Air will attract the attention of many giants from the very beginning, and it may be delisted and sold by interested buyers before it goes on the market.

"The west side of Stella Della Road is adjacent to Bel-Air Country Club. Most of the social activities and business negotiations in the Platinum Triangle are completed here. When you buy this mansion, you will get Bel-Air as a bonus. A three-year membership to the country club as a joint gift of Mr Paul McLean and us at Williams & Williams."

Brandon pressed the electric control button of the key, and the door in front of him, made of black marble without a trace of pattern, slowly opened.

Compared with the Los Angeles Country Club near Century City, Bel Air Country Club is more high-end, and the cost is also staggering. The membership fee alone requires a one-time payment of 15 US dollars, and the subsequent renewal annual fee reaches 16.3 US dollars. .More importantly, the membership of the Bel-Air Country Club is not open to the public. Only an invitation letter issued by the owner of the club, oil tycoon Alfonso Bell, is eligible for membership.

Of course, no matter how stringent the selection criteria are, they are useless in front of the owner of the luxury house, and the membership that outsiders covet is directly given away as a bonus for buying a house.

"The opposite of the country club is UCLA. Later we can see every teaching building of UCLA by the pool. Of course, I know this is not the scenery you want to see the most, but Mr. Han, this location is very suitable for stealing bears. It's really convenient." Brandon blinked and made a harmless little joke.Along the way, in addition to introducing the real estate, Brandon also had a general understanding of the current situation of the client through chatting.

USC and UCLA are the most famous rivals in Los Angeles. Every year before and after the head-to-head victory bell between the two college football teams, students from each school will try their best to sneak into the rival campus and destroy the opponent's mascot. In 2009, two USC students took advantage of the dark night and high winds to sneak into UCLA's open campus and painted the brown bear statue with red and yellow colors representing USC.Of course, UCLA did not fail to make news at USC. In fact, as early as 1941, UCLA students dyed USC’s Trojan statue blue for the first time.

Since then, every game, the two sides will be on the verge of an enemy, and the Trojans and the brown bears will be wrapped tightly in tape early on, so as not to spend a lot of money to restore the statue.Students from the two groups also formed guardian teams successively. The ones from USC were called "Troy Knights" and "USC Helen", while the ones from UCLA were called... Han Yi didn't care what their clubs were called.Every November, male students from Knights of Troy and female students from USC Helen will set up tents next to the statue and guard them 24 hours a day.

On November 11 last year, USC had just won UCLA with a score of 28-40 and regained the victory clock that had been lost for three years. Brandon's joke really hit Han Yi's heart.

"I won't steal this year." Han Yi shrugged and teased, "It's not us who lost."

"That's true, that's true." Brandon laughed and clapped his hands.Is it that funny?Of course not, but such performance can always give some impression points to the unfavorable teacher.

"Let's continue to introduce the house. On the right hand side of the entrance, there is a spiral driveway that can accommodate two cars at the same time. We dug one floor down and completely placed the garage in the mountain. The extra space can be used for you to park ten cars The full-sized car, including a display carousel in the very center, you can see when the time comes."

Brandon took a deep breath and moved his raised right hand straight ahead.

"Now, let me officially introduce this mansion to you. On the right hand side of the entrance door, there is a water feature wall also made of black marble, which not only creates a charming landscape on your way home, but also Effectively isolate the salon area from the gate, preventing visitors from directly seeing the inside of the house. Even better, the entrance hall includes all the suspended ceilings, carpets and part of the furniture that you can see in the house later. All designed and manufactured by Fendi."

"From the entrance door into the room, boom! You can directly see the scenery of the whole city. Mr. McLean wants anyone to experience the difference of this building directly from the moment they enter the house."

Brandon Williams put his hands together into the shape of a camera, and then slowly unfolded them. With the extension of his arms, a beautiful panorama of the City of Angels appeared in front of Han Yi.Nearby is the minimalist lounge area, which seamlessly connects with the outside lawn, which seems to be meticulously manicured and cut every day.At the end of the greenery is an infinity swimming pool that you can't see the end from inside the house, like a string of blue gemstone necklaces, inlaid between the necks of the farthest century city.

"Wow."

Han Yi and Ryan exclaimed at the same time. Among the four mansions that have been seen, the visual shock brought by the entry of No. 864 Stella Della Road is undoubtedly crushing.

"Walking into the salon area, you will be intoxicated by the [-]-foot floor height. You can place any installation art here, even a whole stove, and you will not feel any restrictions on the height. Of course, you don't need to Buy a new stove, this TV wall from the ceiling to the ground has already embedded an 'electronic stove' for you." Brandon put his hand in front of the stove and shook it, "In LA, we need The time for warming up the fire is really limited, so this is actually a constant temperature control system, which is connected to all the temperature control equipment in the whole house. When the temperature needs to be raised, it will display the image of the flame. If the temperature needs to be kept constant, the image will become a Wang Qingquan, if you want a little coolness, you can also see snowflakes drifting across the screen."

"I believe you have noticed that the entrance hall uses a full glass curtain wall. As for the salon area, you can't see any barriers from the outside now, but just press the button, and the hidden glass curtain wall will also extend from the wall. , connected with the curtain wall of the entrance hall."

“Want some quiet time, open the walls and isolate yourself from the world. Want to throw a party? From here to the lawn outside, to the infinity pool, it’s very easy to host fifty, or even a hundred guests. Gentlemen, I say without exaggeration that this is one of the top five living rooms in all of Los Angeles. After all, how many living rooms are there that can accommodate a bar-standard full-length bar?"

Brandon walked to the bar opposite the TV wall and looked up at the eighteen-foot all-glass wine storage cabinet. In order to match the style of the entire mansion, the wine storage in the wine cabinet was very small, mostly champagne or whisky.

"By buying this house, all the famous wines that can be seen now belong to you, Macallan 25, Bolant, and Dom Pérignon. Imagine you and a group of friends here on a summer night Open a bottle of whiskey, some drink it straight, some add ice. You tap the rim of the glass, look at the skyline in the distance, and sigh..."

"Damn, I've arrived!" Brandon pressed his left hand to his chest with an exaggerated dramatic expression.

"Unfortunately, I don't drink, Brandon." Han Yi was amused by Brandon's performance, "But I do hope to reach the other side, no matter what way."

"Maybe it's not fine wine, but it can be delicious food." Brandon said with a smile, wagging his fingers.He is very satisfied with the dramatic effect just now. To a certain extent, real estate agents, like actors, provide experience and entertainment all the time, "Next, let's come to the right side of the salon area, the 1200-square-foot kitchen. This The open cooking space designed by the double island is not only prepared for you and your family, it can be a professional cookout kitchen. Invite any chef you like to come home, whether it is Thomas Keller or Matsuhisa Thank you, let them serve you a Michelin-standard family dinner."

"Besides, I believe you haven't seen such a design before." Brandon raised his chin, motioning Han Yi to look at the small rest area between the kitchen and the lawn, "Mr. McLean designed a dual space for eating and entertainment here , you can call it the living room, you can call it the entertainment area, you can even call it the dining table. Sit on the sofa, gather around the TV, and enjoy your food like a real American family. In my opinion, this The zone is the essence of the house, its heart and soul.”

"If you want to upgrade your audio-visual experience, it's next to the kitchen, which is your private theater... You can have lunch or dinner, and if you really want to live well, you can also have breakfast here."

What caught Han Yi's eyes was a small but warmly decorated private cinema.There are two rows of extended sofas in the room, which is more than enough to accommodate 16 people to sit together. If you don’t mind sitting on the floor, there are seven or eight people who can lie down in front.The floor is laid out with a long-haired carpet called Friezé, which is the name of a material specifically used to describe the fluffy and soft blanket texture that changes shape according to the position of the body.

The four walls, including the ceiling, are wrapped in brown-red sound-proof velvet. Under the comfortable beige lighting, the entire private theater is like the heart of a sleeping girl.Dreaming of sweet and quiet dreams, but looking forward to waking up with high-pitched glory.

The overall impression of 864 Stella Della Road is futuristic minimalism and sharpness, but at the same time it is full of humanistic delicacy and elegance.The [-]-foot-long infinity pool is as big as it can hold the entire galaxy, but the private theater in front of it is so quiet that you can only hear your breathing, but it is so small that it can only hold two souls in love.

In a daze, Han Yi seemed to be able to see himself lying in the middle of the sofa in the last row, quietly falling asleep to the melodious music of Charles Mingus, and beside him obediently lying on his shoulder, with his cheeks raised The one full of love in her dimples.

Who will she be?
This is the puzzle left by Stella Della 864 and its designer, Paul McLean.

Han Yi's heart beat suddenly, and he realized that before he knew it, his soul had already lived in it.

"That's it, Brandon...you've done a great job, I've made up my mind."

Han Yi squatted down, rubbing the carpet gently with his fingertips, carefully feeling the caress that seemed to come from this room.

"How should I quote?"
