Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 372 Rich money everywhere

  After the dinner, they stayed in the manor. The plan was to leave at noon the next day, and there was still some time to visit in the morning. According to the steward, the area of ​​the manor is very large, more than a thousand acres, but it is said that the land of the manor used to be larger, and now most of the nobles' territories have become public.

With the democratization of the society, the term "manor" has been exclusively used by big landowners, and has gradually shrunk to mansions with mountains and rivers for some rich people. Agricultural work, removal of common areas, turned into fully private land.

  Since it is a tour, the housekeeper drives a battery car around the neighborhood.

  The manor is a bit of a Gothic revival style. Unlike the Gothic style that is widely used in religious buildings, it incorporates many elements and is also suitable for residential buildings. The gardens are very unique, and Romanticism has appropriated everything that can be learned from the world, and there are also some Chinese garden styles.

After a tour, Anfeng gave a very good evaluation, but to be honest, I still feel that I am good. The color of the manor building here is a bit monotonous. The appearance can only feel the vicissitudes of history it has experienced. Although the interior is luxurious and colorful, But there is still a classical dullness.

On the contrary, his mansion in California, the exterior color of the building is very eye-catching, the blue and white style is like a sunny holiday sky, lively and playful, and the interior decoration is a part of modern style in the tradition of jewels. "Vintage", but not really ancient.

  After the tour in the morning, say goodbye to the host and return to London.

   Went to Liverpool the next day to watch another home game of the Red Army. Although Joanna did not attend very frequently, she finally showed her face. This time the Red Army won the game again, and the proprietress vaguely became a **** of luck. The few times she appeared, the Red Army performed very well.

   After a few events with the lucky Joanna, the short trip to England came to an end.

  Going back to get busy with company affairs, I received news from Khaled in March that he planned to visit Anfeng in the United States, bringing friends and a large business order. The Green Earth project has taken root around Los Angeles, and the effect is astonishingly good, as An Feng expected.

  Plants specially adapted to the environment can adapt tenaciously to the environment. Just like how hot the desert is, there will always be people who can survive. No matter how cold the Arctic is, don’t the Inuit still have fun? The reason is the same, and the genetic technology is even more against the sky. Sprinkling water a few times a year can ensure the greenery.

Khalid's interest is also expected by Anfeng. The California government and local governments are negotiating with the company, planning to focus on greening in some big cities. Even if allowed, they would rather replace the plants that were bothersome and water-consuming. Use this high-tech plant.

  The area that cares most about technology is water shortage and desertification. Nevada in the United States is very concerned about it. The casino hopes that it can be green and realize a real desert oasis. Khalid's visit is equivalent to the attitude of the Qatar government. In addition, he also brought friends, which is definitely a business opportunity.

  An Feng had to consider the reception method.

  The royal family of Qatar is a business partner of the consortium. An Feng and Khalid have a good relationship. It stands to reason that inviting them to their home is the highest standard. Khaled entertained them in the same way last time. But the atmosphere of the winery is not suitable for Arabs, and the wine and luxury attributes conflict.

   Finally told Joanna about the matter, and she recommended using their manor.

   "Isn't there part of it still not healed?" An Feng asked.

  Joanna is more familiar than him: "It's just a few details. I asked Mr. Brandon, and it's okay to move in now, unless you are very demanding on the details."

   "I don't have much demand for details." An Feng said, "Let's experience it tomorrow."

  …

  An Feng's manor has entered the finishing stage.

  It took three years and eight months from the construction to the present, the construction team has been completed and evacuated, and there are still a few designers who are responsible for the details of the overall effect. That is to consider how to place the vase, whether to change the location of the sculpture, and how to install the security equipment without affecting the aesthetic feeling.

  Strictly speaking, it is 99% complete, and only the final adjustments are left. How to place a painting is very particular. At present, some designers have changed the positions of oil paintings in three places. In order to find out if it could receive guests, An Feng took a housekeeper who was familiar with the situation and set off together.

  This time, there was no leisurely ride in the car, and the helicopter rushed there.

Viewed from the air, the manor has been completely completed. Whether it is the front yard or the backyard, or the majestic main building under the sun, it looks impeccable. The English-style garden is meticulous in the flat grass, and the romantic lake and pavilion are fresh and soft...everywhere. Heady melody.

   As expected of a royal garden, there is no problem with its appearance.

  An Feng focused on inspecting the main building. Accompanied by a housekeeper who is familiar with the details of life, the designer Teresa led them on a tour. She introduced: "The main building is 102 meters long, 12 meters high, and 15 meters wide. The two-story design is actually two and a half floors. One floor takes up part of the upper floor."

   As an acceptance tour, Teresa explained in detail, and they also started the tour from the bottom floor. Different from the basement in An Feng's impression, it is very spacious and bright. When you look up, you can see the glass windows that welcome the sunlight from the outside, protruding forty to fifty centimeters from the ground, no wonder it is two and a half floors.

As a part of the building, it also has a rigorous structure, the floor is laid on the ground, and the storage area on the right is used to store daily necessities and food. Under the decoration of retro style, it also has a large cold room, which is divided into different areas and can be used for different types of food. Food is kept fresh, but not for what the kitchen is about to use.

On the left is the living area, in the middle is a tiled corridor, and on both sides are rooms, a total of twelve rooms, two main rooms, An Feng took a look and continued the overall luxurious style, such as wardrobes, dressing tables and bathrooms are equipped with There are desks, computers and internal telephones.

  The jewel-like overall style makes the servants also proud. The room is similar to a luxurious standard room in a hotel. The area is about 35 square meters. There are not many servants, twelve rooms are basically enough.

To be honest, this mansion specially built with the theme of luxury, even the living quarters for the servants, has the standard of a star hotel. After all, it is the new century, and the old set has been thrown away long ago. As a waiter in a star-rated hotel, if you don't have a high salary, you still don't work.

  Leaving the basement and going up, the first floor of the building is the activity area.

  The first floor reflects the face of the owner, and is also the most important area to build, costing the most.

  The most extravagant one is the main banquet hall, with high-grade wooden floors under the feet and magnificent decorations around. It is said that the doors, windows and metal ornaments are all gold-plated, and hundreds of kilograms of gold are used to decorate the main banquet hall, in order to truly immerse the dinner party in radiant and extreme luxury.

I don't know what other people think, anyway, An Feng is in it, and what he feels is the ubiquitous local gold, even the wooden floor is dark brown, illuminated by the pale yellow light of the crystal lamps on the surrounding walls, whether it is underfoot Or the top of the head, reflecting the golden light.

  The huge ceiling painting above the head is more than 30 meters long and 15 meters wide. The background depicted is Western mythology, with mortals, angels, warriors and heaven, making the banquet hall magnificent. The ceiling painting took more than two years and cost more than $6 million to hire four European artists to create.

On the first floor there are study rooms, reception living room, living room and the commonly used family restaurant. Because the main banquet hall has 500 square meters, family dinners are definitely not used, so the family restaurant is relatively small, but the luxury is not reduced. It is also covered with golden As well as the ivory shine, five-star restaurants are dwarfed.

The other kitchen and the living room for private use are also on the first floor. Walking in the corridor decorated with crystal chandeliers and gold-plated sculptures, admiring each area, the eyes have already been blinded by various "local gold", but it also conforms to the Baroque style. Urinary **** - exaggerated dynamic show off.

  Baroque style is plainly built with exquisiteness and luxury.

  This style, including the Rococo that evolved in the later period, is mainly gorgeous, delicate and delicate. Showing off wealth is the core element. If there is no such golden and dazzling effect, it is not Baroque. Even if it is not intentional, the style of the building brings invisible publicity.

  Go up the stairs covered with brown wool carpets to the second floor.

Most of them are bedrooms here. The U-shaped corridor connects the left and right hand corridors. There are many sculptures on the road. The huge retro glass windows around allow the outdoor light to shine in. A corridor looks past, and there are all kinds of rooms, a total of eight. The master bedroom is on the right hand side of the corridor.

The height of the second floor is about four meters, which is a little shorter than the six meters of the first floor, and the local gold is relatively less. After all, it is a living area, so it needs to be adjusted properly, using some noble ivory white, or The blue color of the lake is embellished, so that people can have a good mood every day.

  The door of the master bedroom is ivory white, and the two doors are split. The gold-plated patterns on it are symmetrical, and the door handle is also golden and gold-plated. Open the door and enter, filled with a faint fragrance, different from the majestic atmosphere on the first floor, the bedroom is not too big, it is divided into two parts.

In front is a sofa and a coffee table, disguised as a graphene screen on the wall, bypassing the screen, and there is a large bed, which continues the style and is still a retro design, using a large number of exquisite silks and satins to create a golden and white piece, which looks smooth and delicate. Very soft on top.

  The lighting in the bedroom caters to the theme, and it is also a soft white tone, which is yellowish. Pull the curtains to darken the room, and then turn on the lights. The whole bedroom is shrouded in luxury. The strongest feeling An Feng felt was that from the moment he came in, from closing his eyes to opening them, there would be luxury everywhere.

   Also only the color of the floor and carpet, which can dilute the strong contrast between the walls and overhead.

  Baroque luxury is reflected in every corner, and even the top hotels will have an unmatched feeling. In order to create a jewel-like atmosphere, Anfeng spent 550 million US dollars. More than 300 kilograms of gold were used for decoration alone, and a large amount of gold plating has created the current brilliance.

   After a tour, An Feng felt that the palace was nothing more than that.

  It wasn't until they left the house and went outside and saw the green that the feeling of being surrounded by gold and white just disappeared. Eyes looking at the world also returned to normal color. Gold is the most seen in the house, and the furniture also reflects gold under the light.

   "I think it's enough to entertain guests." An Feng was very confident.

"It's like the Palace of Versailles I visited, but the colors are more lively, and the emptiness of the palace is removed, so it's very suitable for living." Joanna's opinion is the same. To be honest, to experience it completely, it's really a trance to visit the palace. The feeling of visiting, being overwhelmed by luxury.

  Brandon said at the right time: "Mister and Madam, if you decide, there are still five days before the guest's visit, we have to hurry up and prepare."

   "Go and prepare, we decided to entertain guests here." An Feng nodded and said, the house is almost completed, as for those sculptures that are tangled about where to place them, we will talk about them later. Anyway, customers won't focus on this point, but the service must be prepared quickly.

  Currently, Brandon has recruited ten servants, just in line with his ideal number of people to take care of the manor. Within five days, he will prepare the ingredients for the kitchen, the work of the chef and assistants, the distribution of servant positions, as well as the specifications of the reception and the customs of the guests.

  PS: Most of the ideas come from the colorful Russian palaces.
