Chapter 765: Marbury
Located in the western part of Los Angeles, Malibu is famous for its beaches and sunshine, and is also a favorite of high-end residential areas, celebrities, surfers, and dreamers, and has been the filming location of many American movies since the 50s.
So the easiest thing you see here are all kinds of celebrities, famous, famous, and more unfamous who want to come here to find opportunities.
It's also home to billionaires, and you'll find parties going on in some of the mansions every day, not as lavidly as Las Vegas casinos, but with a lot of luxury.
Countless paparazzi gather here just to take a photo that can sell for a good price. All kinds of boys and girls looking for opportunities desperately want to squeeze into all kinds of parties, in order to seize the fleeting opportunity.
In the wealthy areas of the United States, Yang Dongxu almost has mansions that Zhou Ya buys, so Malibu is naturally no exception. Property taxes in the United States are high though.
But the appreciation value of these well-known houses in the rich area is extremely high, in short, after two years, he will definitely double the loss and not make a profit, so he will naturally not let go of such a good investment opportunity.
After getting off the plane, Yang Dongxu and Jos took a car to the mansion that Malibu Zhou Ya had purchased four years ago. A detached luxury villa was purchased for more than $12 million at the time.
In 95, the housing price in the United States can be said to have reached the lowest point of modern housing prices, and the housing prices in bustling metropolises like Los Angeles and New York are less than 7,000, can you believe it?
At present, the housing prices in Los Angeles have begun to approach 9,000 this year, and according to Yang Dongxu's judgment, the housing prices in the United States and China will usher in a blowout surge in the next few years, and his mansion can rise to about 25 million US dollars.
Of course, in the past two years, Zhou Ya has always bought more than one property in the United States, and even in Malibu, there is more than this one, but four mansions.
The other three buildings are rented, and the one that Yang Dongxu lives in now is the one that Zhou Ya specially stayed to live in occasionally.
This is a large villa with six bedrooms, the price calculation of houses in the United States is different from that in China, the country depends on the housing area, but the United States is not, the most direct judgment is that the more bedrooms, the more expensive the house.
Of course, the more bedrooms there are, the larger the size of the house seems reasonable, but the price of a house in the United States is not based on the size of the house, but on the floor space.
Because buying a house in the U.S. requires you to pay taxes every year, then you have the right to use the land in perpetuity. The housing area of the house in the United States is only a small part of the house, and more of the area is the garden, lawn, etc., basically the larger the garden, the higher the price of the house.
The mansion that Zhou Ya bought has a small garden and a swimming pool in front. The lawn in front of the courtyard is large enough to host a party of about 100 people without being crowded.
After all, he was a mansion worth $12 million when the house price was lowest in the United States, and at that time Jordan was only a few million dollars when he played, he needed to win several championships in a row without spending a penny, and the bonus plus his salary to buy such a mansion, how could it be so expensive if the area was small?
Because Zhou Ya occasionally lives here, there is no shortage of bodyguards and servants in the mansion, among which the servants are their own people who came out of a village with Cui Ma and learned English and management skills after training, and the bodyguards are naturally also sharp blade security companies.
"Young Master, you're here. Coming to the door of the mansion, the maid and the bodyguard stood on both sides, Changxi won with a smile on his face, and Jos looked at the mansion in front of him in some surprise.
Originally, Bob Shea offered to meet at Marbury, and there was a small disagreement in the final signing of the contract, and Jos was ready to book a hotel for Yang Dongxu.
But Yang Dongxu said that he could have a house to live in here, and Jos didn't care much at first. After all, he has understood the assets of Haina Company, and his big boss must have a lot of money in his hands if he wants to enter Hollywood, and it is normal to have a house of his own in the United States.
But what he never expected was that it might be a more luxurious apartment in his mind, and he definitely didn't expect it to be such a high-end mansion in front of him that shocked him.
And looking at the ratio of Chinese and Western servants and bodyguards in the mansion, it is easy for him to conclude that this mansion is Yang Dongxu's own, not a lease or temporary purchase.
"Well, I'll take a shower first, and you can entertain the guest Sister Xi. Yang Dongxu nodded, and then said to Jos, whose face had not disappeared, and said, "Jos, let Sister Xi entertain you, and you're welcome to be your own family."
I'll go up and take a shower first, we'll have lunch together in a while, I'll probably have to rest in the afternoon I'm too tired from such a long plane, and we'll go to see Bob together in the evening. ”
"Yes, sir. Jos nodded, unconsciously using an honorific.
Yang Dongxu nodded, and went directly to the master bedroom under the leadership of the next person, which was the room where Zhou Ya lived, and there was a large bathroom in it. For the young and excessively young man in front of him, arrange to rest in his hostess's room.
Some servants and several bodyguards who didn't know Yang Dongxu had strange eyes, but their professionalism was high-speed, and they shouldn't be asked more than they could.
The person in charge of the daily life of the mansion, that is, the head of the manor from China whose name is pronounced a little awkwardly called Changxi, since this arrangement naturally has a reason for such an arrangement.
However, the maid guessed in his heart that the young man in front of him was likely to be the one who was on the phone with his hostess, because the maid had seen more than once that the hostess, who was usually very serious, should not enter the same hostess, and only when he called that person would he show a smile on his face that made Baihua ashamed.
As soon as the man in front of him arrived here, he was arranged to live in the hostess's room, and the other party may be the partner of his own hostess who has never appeared.
After taking a bath, Yang Dongxu looked in Zhou Ya's bedroom, the room was filled with the familiar smell of Zhou Ya's body, which made him completely give up all vigilance, and after a long journey, he only felt a sense of exhaustion hit him and lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
When I woke up, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the bathroom to wash my face, and when I went to bed, I pressed the clothes I had just changed out of the folds, and when I came down from the upstairs bedroom, I saw Joss lying reading a book under the parasol by the pool, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm slacking, the current plane is flying too long, even if I rested on the plane, my body was still a little too tired, and I fell asleep directly after taking a shower. ”
"It's okay, it's a normal boss, every time I go on a business trip, I just take a two- or three-hour plane, and it takes several days to recover, and the plane is definitely not as comfortable as the bed at home, even if it's first class. Joss said with a smile.
"That's right, that's it. Yang Dongxu sat down next to Jos, waved his hand and said hello to Sister Xi, and asked her to serve some food.
Otherwise, when talking to Bob in the evening, there obviously doesn't have much time to eat, even if they make an appointment to have dinner first and then talk about things.
As he sat down next to Joss to talk about something and eat, he suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, "Why are you here?"
The person he saw was none other than Jie Chengwu, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and he couldn't remember exactly when he saw Jie Chengwu last time.
In short, the dark and shiny man in front of him made him feel even stronger. Even though he was over forty years old this year, the fierce aura on his body did not diminish with age, but became more explosive.
In fact, Yang Dongxu knew that Jie Chengwu's current aura was already restrained, and the last time he saw him, even if he was 100% at ease with Jie Chengwu, sitting together at close range, he still felt that there was a fierce monster sitting next to him, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
During that time, it was also a period of high-speed improvement of Jiechengwu's strength, and this year's Du Suo is 48 years old, which can be said to be over half a hundred years old. Although in terms of early martial arts attainments, he was evaluated by Old Man Xuan as being better than the blue, and he has entered the realm of the grandmaster.
But even if his body is much stronger than his peers because of the breakthrough of martial arts, almost comparable to people in their thirties, 48 years old is 48 years old, and he can't still be as energetic as when he was 30 years old.
So now Du Suo no longer charges at the front line of the battle, and even rarely makes any more moves, but grabs the training of the Blade Security Company, and begins to slowly hide behind the scenes and start strategizing.
And Jie Chengwu is undoubtedly the successor he pushed out, Jie Chengwu, who is eight years younger than Du Suo, is just 40 years old this year, with the physical fitness of a martial artist, he can fight on the front line for five years without a problem, and then Du Fei will take over.
In short, in the next ten years, the security around Yang Dongxu will be very perfect, the work handover will be very cohesive, there will not be any vacuum period, and the control of the increasingly large blade security company will not be weakened in the slightest.
"My grandmother called me and said that you must stay in the United States for a while, and I was afraid that there would be a shortage of people here, so she asked me to bring a few people over. Jie Chengwu grinned.
It's just that no matter how fierce the beast grins, it is also a fierce beast, and the smile gives people the feeling that it is not kind, but even more hideous. However, Jie Chengwu's aura has begun to be restrained compared to before, and it must be that the aura on his body will be completely restrained after a while, although I don't know if he will enter the realm of grandmaster like Du Suo, but at least it will not be as scary as in front of him.
"Look at the arrangement. Yang Dongxu nodded and didn't say anything, although he was very confident in his personal force.
But after all, the United States is a country with guns, and it is said that no matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of kitchen knives, let alone guns, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.
As for his engagement to Zhou Ya, he is choosing a date to get his marriage certificate, and then find time to make up the wedding. Jie Chengwu, Cui Ma and others began to change their words, no longer calling Miss Zhou Ya, but shouting about the young grandmother, he naturally didn't force anything, because he knew that it was useless to care.
"Which gentleman is?" waited for Jie Chengwu to leave, and Jos, who was sitting in the chair, dared to move his body, and then spit out a long breath that was suffocated in his chest.
"Bodyguards. Yang Dongxu spit out two words simply and clearly.
Jos didn't continue to ask with interest, such a strong bodyguard felt more powerful than the bodyguards around the president. The identity of his boss seems to be more bullish than he imagined.
