Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 161 Friends? (14)

  What is impulsive consumption? This is.

However, this small island not far from Manhattan is quite beautiful. It has been taken care of and maintained by people for hundreds of years. Some trees are as old as a hundred years old, and there are flat grass everywhere. I live in Manhattan, so I think this kind of place with a place to raise horses, play golf and tennis is great, suitable for living, or hosting a party.

He requisitioned the trolley on the golf course, and a bodyguard drove it, taking Ye Dongqing and several people from the architectural design firm around, raising two Akhal Teke horses and an American thoroughbred horse, plus four The stables of the Oldenburg horses are about to be demolished, and it looks a little dilapidated. These horses will live in other places temporarily. The original owner of the island is an old woman. She decided to return to her hometown of Ireland to spend her life. I don't have the energy to take care of them anymore.

They are all very good breeds of horses. Unfortunately, including the expensive thoroughbreds, there are a total of three horses that are already old, and those that can be resold have been sold. Then, when you meet a suitable one, you will add a few strong horses, and occasionally ride out for a walk.

In the woods not far from the stables, there is a small herd of Montbelia cattle, a total of more than ten heads. According to the old housekeeper who has not been arranged and is worried that he will lose his job, there is almost no need to worry about running out of fresh milk all year round. It can be drunk, and there is a couple on the island who are responsible for raising them.

In addition to these big guys who use both milk and meat, there are also a few white-tailed deer and elk living in the forest. They are afraid that they will attack people, so they are surrounded by a fence. It is said that there have been cases where someone drove into them before and almost died. .

Not counting the water area, the total area of ​​the island is forty-eight acres, which translates to about 200,000 square meters. Except for the villas with an area of ​​more than 2,500 square meters, there are several other houses scattered around. To be honest, this price is not bad. Yes, the housing prices in Long Island nearby are not cheap.

With some plans in mind, Ye Dongqing returned to the house and wrote and drew on the map, while the designers standing beside him took pens to record in their notebooks, such as cutting down about twenty acres of cluttered woods, All of them were paved with green grass, and by the way, some beautiful American red maples were planted, and three old houses were demolished, etc.

  Considering that the housekeepers and nannies will live here for a long time in the future, two buildings will be demolished, and the rest will be renovated together with the main building, and the rest will be used to entertain guests in normal times.

The apron and pier must be re-paved, and the swimming pool must be refurbished. The stables and cattle pens have already been mentioned. Re-planning, it is estimated that it will take another half a year to actually live in it. There is no need to worry about the cost. He is sure to make more money in the second half of the year.

Due to being targeted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, he paid a tax honestly recently, earning more and paying more, a total of more than 30 million US dollars, and he can get a part of the tax refund in the future, but it still makes him feel distressed. mad.

  The guy who used to specialize in money laundering has now learned to pay taxes legally. He has been exposed by the media, and he has no way to do the accounting...

  **********

  Laura is still in London, taking time to work while studying. She can't accept the house Ye Dongqing gave her with peace of mind, so she hasn't gone through the final handover procedures until today.

It’s not wrong to not take it, but she can live in it. She is euphemistically called “helping Ye Dongqing manage the house”. She is using this unreliable reason to comfort herself, so as not to waste money and go out to rent another. Living with a mother with a bad personality for so long since I was a child, the word "poverty" has already polished my skin thick enough to save as much as I can.

  Thinking about it carefully, last time she also wanted to save money, so she believed Ye Dongqing's nonsense and went to live together on Wall Street, and finally put her own innocence into it for no reason.

   It’s been a while since I moved in. Laura bought herself a second-hand Toyota car after finishing her driver’s license issue. Considering the high rent of this building, it is naturally the worst car in the garage.

Recently, she met a new friend named Renee who lives next door to her. She came to borrow scissors once, and they got to know each other after a while. Curiously said: "I have always wondered if you changed the locks and occupied the empty house. People who buy this kind of car, how can they afford your apartment? I went there once before, and the decoration is more luxurious than my home, but my home is in Greece. There is a villa with a swimming pool, and you can watch the Aegean Sea swimming, that is simply a pleasure!"

After being hit one after another, Laura could only roll her eyes. She didn't know why she was able to play with Renee, who had a completely wrong personality. Do you want to go for breast augmentation, cosmetics, etc. What's even more exasperating is that you still went to Imperial College, driving a Porsche 911 to and from school every day.

It is said that there is an oil mine on the Red Sea at home. After thinking about this, Laura couldn't figure out why she wanted to play with her. She was actively seeking the rhythm of abuse, and said in her mouth: "Just treat it as me stealing in." Well, I wish I had other friends in London, I'm almost mad at you!"

What Renee cared about was not whether Laura was angry or not, and she didn't care about her tone of voice. Instead, she showed a bright smile: "Thank you, I also regard you as a friend. If the owner of the house comes over, remember to jump from the window sill to my house. I'll tell the police you're my friend."

After finishing speaking, she patted Laura on the shoulder, what can she say? Laura was already unable to cope with her, and said angrily: "Thank you for thinking that I can jump seven or eight meters away. That is the apartment my friend just bought. I just live here temporarily." Over there."

"friend?"

Renee's eyes lit up instantly, and she said seriously: "It must be a rich handsome guy, that's right, after I introduced my cousin to you, you didn't even call him, hell, I should have thought you had a boyfriend then! Otherwise, who would refuse a handsome baron, tell me about him, how handsome is he?"

   "He's Chinese, OK? I'm in the same middle school as me."

   "Chinese... I've dated a Chinese before, but can you believe they eat chili peppers for food? I'll never forget that night, came back and it took four days to recover from diarrhea, just one bite, I just took one bite!"

Renee felt that saying this didn't seem like enough of a friend, and it made herself ashamed, so she quickly changed the subject: "So he bought you an apartment? It's fine if you have money, and you should ask him to change your car for you next time you have a chance , this car has a smell of feet, I will definitely fill up the gas every time I pass by the gas station next time. From now on, I will take my car when I go out, remember not to park directly at the entrance of the mall later, go to a few blocks away Alley, and we'll walk through it."

  Laura took a deep breath and began to roll her eyes again. If she didn't know that the other party was not bad, but her mouth was a bit cheap, she would definitely not be able to resist cursing at the moment, and she became more and more suspicious of why she wanted to be friends with Renee...
