Chapter 148: Buying a House, Buying a Car, Buying a Purchase
Hiring bodyguards seems simple, as long as you have money, the problem is that Zhang Nan has a lot of problems with many "hardware conditions" now!
First of all, the house!
Now his house on the Upper East Side of New York can be said to be an out-and-out mansion and mansion, which can be seen that the house in New York's Central Park is certainly good, and the price is also expensive!
Not to mention the price of the Upper East Side in other states in the United States, even compared with the surrounding areas of New York, the price of that five-bedroom mansion can be exchanged for a huge villa with a swimming pool in the suburbs of New York City!
According to Zhang Nan's security requirements, the house he lives in now is too small!
If he only needs to have an armed driver, this is enough, but he wants 24-hour professional personal protection, so where do the bodyguards on duty live?
How to solve the problem of eating? You can't let the bodyguard eat takeout every day, right?
This is the second problem: the house on the Upper East Side is actually more like Nicole and Jenny's home, at most it is just a temporary foothold for Zhang Nan, the homeowner!
You can't use two senior gold collars in the financial industry as cooks, right?
Cooking for Zhang Nan, Nicole and Anne are willing, but cooking for the bodyguards?
It's better to be free!
The supporting manpower is completely inconsistent with Zhang Nan's identity, and it is even more inconsistent with the pomp and circumstance of an important person who is protected by four bodyguards 24 hours a day!
There is no shortage of full-time cooks at home, and it is best to have a servant and a butler. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The third question is equally important: even if the standards are lowered, the house is not changed, and two rooms are set aside for the bodyguards and drivers as "collective dormitories" - even if the bodyguards don't care about living a little crammed (in fact, they are not crowded, nearly 300 square meters live for 7 people, and basically each room has its own bathroom and toilet). ), Zhang Nan will have opinions!
Why?
The house was not a two-storey duplex, but a flat floor, with a blurred division between private and public spaces. The two beauties will be very casual when they are at home, even if Zhang Nan is the same.
The house is 24-hour heating in winter and central air conditioning in summer, and the delicate figure is large and long-legged, which is pleasing to the eye!
However, such a warm and visual enjoyment, in a relatively closed environment, Zhang Nan can enjoy it himself, and others are still exempt.
The villa pool is different, Nicole and Nicole sometimes wear pajamas, underwear, and swimsuits at home.
The last question made Curry's manager feel a little incredible: Zhang Nan didn't have a car!
So far in the United States, not to mention a luxury sedan, he doesn't even have a bicycle with two wheels!
After asking Zhang Nan's current housing conditions and who else is under one roof, Curry said, "Mr. Allen, I guess you don't want the bodyguards to squeeze in the same living room with you, although our staff will definitely not disturb the romantic world between you and Miss Nicole." ”
Curry is a good guy at looking at people and things, and observing words and feelings, otherwise he wouldn't have talked about this somewhat sensitive topic.
Speaking of which, Curry noticed that neither of them had any embarrassed expressions, so he continued.
"If it's just an armed driver and a bodyguard, it's good to say that your house on the Upper East Side is spacious enough. But to match it with a full set of people, I suggest that you better change houses. ”
After listening to Curry's words, Zhang Nan said, "Then buy another house." ”
After that, he asked Nicole, "Do you know where the house is good?"
"In Manhattan or around?"
"Dear Nicole, in fact, I don't like the house in the matchbox at all, even if there is a two-story 10,000-square-foot, find a villa. ”
Nicole laughed: If it weren't for the convenience of work, how many rich people would like to make their home on the Upper East Side?
As for people, few like to be chased at a fast pace all day long.
But the girl was smart and didn't think for herself, but left the professional things to the professionals, "Mr. Curry, what good advice do you have?"
When Curry heard this, he asked, "Miss Nicole, what are your requirements for transportation?"
This is another question: will you have any questions about being late for work? And it's to ask the lady, not to ask Zhang Nan, this curry is very interesting.
"It's an hour and a half drive from the Empire State Building, which I can accept. ”
Nicole is also welcome: this Alan is still only a foothold in New York to put it bluntly, and it is definitely not a home!
Thinking of this, she was inexplicably angry, and simply came according to her own requirements.
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Nan jumped out instead, "Nicole, an hour and a half, this is a little too far, right?"
Small place, this aspect has always felt that the best distance is within 15 minutes of riding a bicycle, so that it is comfortable to go to work. One and a half hours is enough for Hangzhou to run to Shanghai at high speed! Although in those two cities, there are so many people who spend an hour and a half every day rushing to work in units and factories!
An hour and a half just feels a little too far.
Nicole's purple eyes glanced at her boss and said, "Jenny and I will stay in the current house when we are busy with work, boss, and besides, you won't be late." And Jenny and I..."
said this and stopped, which made Zhang Nan smile awkwardly, and the Curry manager didn't care: I have seen more rich people, and the problems faced by this Mr. Allen are common.
Zhang Nan felt a little wronged!
Don't worry about girls, Zhang Nan said: "Mr. Curry, do you have any good suggestions?"
"The villa on Long Island is about an hour and midnight during peak hours, and about half an hour if you take the taxi. Of course, the latter is almost negligible. And, Mr. Allen, from a security standpoint, villas on Long Island are also better for your safety. ”
Zhang Nan turned his head and said to Nicole, "What do you think?"
Of course, no problem, Long Island, New York is across the river from Manhattan, and the environment is superb. And the housing prices over there are actually not high, generally two-story villas with gardens are only three or four hundred thousand dollars, and the housing prices are different from those on the East Side!
Bigger villas aren't unacceptable, and it's not just the wealthy New York who get a property there to relax when they have time, but also a lot of decent middle-class people who have a home there.
As for environmental policing, there is no need to worry: Long Island is relatively independent, the community is at least middle-class families, law and order is good, and the police often drive around there.
As for what if you have to live on the Upper East Side on those days of the month?
Curry's talk is not a big problem, as long as you vacate a guest room, get two "pigeon cages" in it, and prepare some necessary cabinets or something for the bodyguards to put their personal belongings temporarily.
The bodyguards of the Sun Company can adapt to group life, and those who have come down from the army can adapt to it, even from the FBI, not to mention living in a dormitory similar to this when there is no mission training - even if they live in a permanent residence, let alone only occasionally.
After listening to Curry's words, Zhang Nan said: "That does not need a shelf bed and upper bunks, two guest rooms can be vacated, and the two guest rooms add up to one and a half bathrooms, plus the toilet outside, it should be able to deal with it." ”
American houses have many bathrooms and toilets.
When buying a new property, many customers will consult the professional advice of the security company first, so as not to buy a property that is not conducive to security work.
And then there's the vehicle.
Two options: one is to rent, but to buy.
The vehicle does not choose a Rolls-Royce, which is too conspicuous in New York, just the seven-seat "giant" SUV produced by General Motors, which is extremely spacious and bulletproof.
I didn't think anyone would shoot a submachine gun at their car, but it was best if it was bulletproof, but the top speed would be much slower.
Bulletproof vehicles are not used to run away, but only to ensure that the people inside do not die from gunfire in a daze - and they have to rely on bodyguards to be safe.
However, although GM has been producing bulletproof SUVs, it is not a specially customized play, but it will take a week or two to pick up the car.
The Sun company has been prepared for such a situation for a long time: they have a number of bulletproof vehicles available for temporary rental, and there are various models. Even if the specified model required by the customer is not available, the company can also call it nationwide, of course, if urgent air freight is required, then the freight will have to be paid by the customer.
Zhang Nan doesn't have so many special requirements, Cadillac, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz... These models of bulletproof cars are OK and you can rent one before the scheduled SUV arrives.
Car rental is a supporting service, and the price is quite fair, just the money of an armed driver.
Because the Canadian armed driver has 4 security personnel, it is also necessary to configure a bodyguard's car: if the bodyguard is allowed to drive his own private car, the employer can provide a certain amount of fuel and vehicle wear and tear subsidies, but this seems a bit picky.
The bodyguard can also use the vehicle provided by the company, or it can be a bulletproof model - such a bulletproof car only has a bulletproof function, and only the most basic equipment inside, so it is also considered a supporting service, and the vehicle cost is not high.
Then just let the bodyguards also drive bulletproof cars, let's not be stingy.
The problem with the car was solved, and there was the daily staff of the villa. There is no need for Zhang Nan to worry about this, Sun Company also has partners in this regard, which can provide excellent housekeeping service personnel and one-stop service to the home.
All the considerations should be considered, then go to see the house: the real estate company has two good villas in hand, which is very in line with Zhang Nan's identity and "family composition".
Now that you're going to have a bodyguard, let's start the security service now!
The pre-signed agreement, two armed drivers and two personal bodyguards, but the way to do it was also flexible: before the house was settled, two shifts of 12 hours were adopted to ensure that Zhang Nan had two guns by his side at any time.
The cost is a little more expensive temporarily, as long as the service is good. As for the other 6 round-the-clock bodyguards, they will follow up after the villa is bought and the security facilities inside the house are installed.
Not only a house, Sun will also be responsible for the installation of the house's monitoring and alarm system, of course, this cost is also paid by the customer.
But more than an hour later, when Zhang Nan saw the first property on Long Island, he was happy!
"Lucky!" (To be continued.) )
