0714 Long Island Affluent District, Birth is the End
Two helicopters and a Flame Blue Rolls-Royce are out of the way, which is the standard of travel for the richest and richest, that is, high-profile and private, out of the reach of ordinary people.
Nowadays, as long as it is not an absolutely no-fly area, or there are special needs, Wu Qian generally chooses to travel by helicopter.
It's convenient, it's really convenient, the air in the air at high is much better than on the ground, at least there is not so much car exhaust.
Minister Ross was invited by Wu Qian to take a helicopter to Long Island, New York, anyway, two helicopters, enough space.
The people watching the bustle in the terminal witnessed the row of the top rich, which made them envious and jealous, and some people finally found out that the person who received the young man was actually the current Minister of Commerce of the United States.
This discovery made many people not calm, a young man, can actually let the top leaders of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States personally greet him, this honor reveals too much unusual information.
"If I'm not mistaken, the guy who flew on that exaggerated smiling plane is the owner of Manchester United now, and he has a 'Red Devils' A380 for the club, and oh my God, I can't guess how much assets he has......"
"I also found it here, it is indeed him, this mysterious Oriental tycoon has been active in Asia, Europe and Africa before, and has never been involved in investment projects in the United States, and now he has finally come to the United States, and the Minister of Commerce has personally received him, so high treatment!"
Two young people from the United States stood in front of the big glass of the terminal and chatted, their eyes were full of envy, why is there such a big gap between the same young people.
A man with a DSLR around his neck next to him laughed when he heard this, and said, "Is the Minister of Commerce of the United States at a very high level? Can it be as high as Mr. Mark in our country?"
Listen to its accent, speaking with a strong smell of perfume.
When Wu Qian entered and exited the Elysee Palace, this one happened to be photographing on the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es, and inadvertently recorded the footage of the Flame Blue Phantom entering and leaving the Elysee Palace, and he judged that Wu Qian was very likely to have had dinner with Mr. Mark.
The two young men of the United States showed a look of surprise on their faces, and immediately started talking with the French man, who said that men don't gossip, but the interests of gossip are different.
Things like this happened in many corners of the terminal, the big boss of Manchester United Club went to the United States, and the Minister of Commerce of the United States personally received it, which became the focus of everyone's discussion.
Wu Qian, who left JFK Airport by helicopter, naturally did not know that he had become the center of discussion for many people.
The helicopter headed east, departing from JFK International Airport and arriving in the affluent area of Long Island, New York, about half an hour later.
Every city, whether developed or backward, has a corresponding hierarchy of residential areas, just like New York, where the wealthy live in the Long Island area.
Long Island is located on the east coast of the United States, is a narrow island in the southeast of New York, the widest distance between the north and south shores is about 30 kilometers, the east and west are about 190 kilometers long, from the westernmost town of Big Neck to the easternmost seaview resort Montauke, it takes more than two hours to drive by highway.
Long Island is home to one of the most beautiful natural environments, with three sides facing the sea, clear water lapping on sandy beaches, towering coastal lighthouses to guide boats, famous wineries, quaint historic towns, world-famous castles and mansions, and classic British gardens.
Long Island borders Queens on the west and is only 35 kilometers away from the financial center of Manhattan, and if you want to "escape" the steel-lined Midtown of New York, you only need to drive 30 to 40 minutes to find yourself in a paradise surrounded by greenery and birds singing on Long Island.
Imagine a busy day in the financial center, operating millions of financial transactions every minute, hysterically giving orders to traders, using your brain to the extreme to judge the trend, and returning to this quiet mansion in the forest after being tired.
That's why countless billionaires and industrialists continue to settle on Long Island, and their wealth and strength continue to make Long Island more and more extraordinary!
Among the 25 richest towns in the country earlier by the United States Business Weekly, nine towns on Long Island, New York, are among them, and in terms of overall prosperity, none of the other parts of the country can match.
The Long Island region has the best medical care, education and other resources in the country, and the children born into wealthy families don't care about the "starting line" at all, because they are already standing in front of the finish line, and their task is to set the finish line farther away, surpass the achievements of their parents, and create a higher level of glory.
The wealthy district of Long Island was not only once the residence of European princes and nobles in the early days, but also many powerful families, business and financiers, writers, artists, and entertainment stars have settled here in modern times.
Former President Roosevelt of the United States, the Kennedy family, the powerful family of the Celestial Empire, the financial tycoon Soros, the first physicist of the Celestial Empire to win the Nobel Prize, etc., there are too many celebrities from all walks of life who live here.
After a while, Bauer, who was piloting a helicopter, found the island of the sun god that he had heard of since he was a child, and as a native of the United States, Bauer knew that it was a symbol of the Morgan family's wealth, and the tip of the iceberg was revealed, but now it has been pocketed by his boss.
In the forest, the two old men are discussing a popular movie that has been released recently, and the two have a little different views on the use of "side light" and "top light" in the movie, and the discussion is in full swing.
The two men were extremely focused and were disturbed by the helicopter passing overhead, and the two old men raised their heads to look in the direction of the helicopter's departure.
"In that direction is the Morgan family's Sun God Island, is there going to be a movie going on? β
Speaking of this, it is the famous Hollywood Steven Spielberg, who won the Oscar for Best Director twice and made him one of the top directors.
Helios Island was used for a while to make movies, but that was a long time ago, and it made for several very classic films.
Another old man stood up and moved his body, and said, "Maybe it's just that the Morgan family is coming for a vacation, it's not too early, old friend, I'm going home for dinner, let's discuss the use of lights next time, but I still stick to my opinion." β
With that, the old man waved goodbye to Spielberg, took the cane that the nanny had handed him and stood up and walked towards the manor to the south.
Of course, the people who can discuss the use of lighting in movies with Spielberg can't be ordinary people.
The old man is also an accomplished director, and the "Godfather" series under his direction is regarded as the "man's Bible", which won him the Oscar for Best Director in 1975, and the 1992 Venice Film Festival awarded him the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, Francis Ford Coppola.
Spielberg waved at Coppola, continued to stand in the woods and look at the sky, before leaving.
What kind of circle, what kind of people to make friends with, living in the affluent district of Long Island, none of the neighbors are ordinary people, because the mansions here are not for ordinary people.
Even if ordinary people start working in the late nineteenth century, it is impossible to save enough money for a house on a manor for more than a hundred years if they rely on their wages alone, and the scarce resources are destined to serve only the top rich.
Jamie Dimon and several of his men were at the end of the embankment leading to the island, and he politely did not set foot in the manor area, even though the embankment road was already Wu Qian's estate.
When the helicopter flew overhead, Jamie Dimon knew that Mr. Wu had arrived, and he walked briskly towards the tarmac.
There are a total of five mansions in different styles on Helios Island, ranging from Victorian-style buildings to modern and modern wooden villas in the style of the United States, as well as Georgian-style mansions.
As Jamie Dimon walked by the Victorian building, he took a look at the brightly lit villa, which was bustling with people and could be seen to be very busy.
The helicopter landed on the helipad on the island of Helios, as if it was specially prepared for Wu Qian, and there were just two helipads built on this island, one large and one small.
Wu Qian stepped off the helicopter, and Jamie Dimon happened to walk in front of the tarmac.
"Welcome to New York, Mr. Wu, welcome to Long Island, oh...... Hello, Minister Ross. β
Jamie Dimon didn't expect to run into Commerce Secretary Ross here, which surprised him a little.
According to his understanding, the relationship between Wu Qian and some departments of the United States does not seem to be very good, otherwise he would not have been frozen tens of billions of funds in disguise, but in this case, why is Minister Ross still so close to Wu Qian, isn't he afraid of problems?
Jamie Dimon was surprised to see Minister Ross, but he didn't know that Minister Ross was also a little surprised to see him here, his eyes were sharp, he saw what Dimon was holding in his hand, and he wondered in his heart, there is no need to let the CEO of Magic and Chase go out in person to buy real estate......
Minister Ross had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't say anything, nodded his head and stood aside, after all, the owner of this place was Wu Qian, and the other party was also coming for Wu.
"Mr. Damon, I'm sorry to trouble you to make a trip yourself. β
Wu Qian walked up to Jamie Dimon and stretched out his hand to shake the other's hand.
After the meeting, Jamie Dimon handed a leather sealed document bag to Wu Qian, and said, "Mr. Wu, this is the contract of the Sun God Island, including all the documents such as the development rights of the nearby sea area, and the changes have been made for you, please take a look." β
Wu Qian generously took the luxurious folder and handed it to Rosalind, it was impossible for him to identify these things by himself, and there was a special person to do it for him, which was something that the legal team should be busy with.
"Thank you Mr. Damon and Chase Bank for your kindness, I have a banquet on the island tonight for Minister Ross, why don't you have a light meal with Mr. Damon?"
Wu Qian's kind invitation.
Facing Wu Qian's invitation, Jamie Dimon said without any hesitation: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Wu, in order to complete the formalities of the island before sunset, I left several urgent official duties, and I am afraid that I will have to rush back to work overtime today, haha." β
As he spoke, Jamie Dimon smiled embarrassedly, very naturally, and he glanced into the distance with a look of nostalgia, an island where he had been stained with the light of his students, and had lived there several times.
How could Jamie Dimon stay here for dinner, not to mention that he did have a job to do, and even if he didn't, he wasn't interested in being a New Year's bulb.
Wu Qian was only polite, and after seeing off Jamie Dimon, Wu Qian and his party walked towards the Victorian-style stone building on the island.
Of the five buildings on the island, through the mansion that Wu Qian chose to be used for reception, Minister Ross judged that Wu Qian was more interested in European architecture, otherwise why didn't he choose the wooden villa in the modern style of the United States.
Although the Morgan family does not usually live on Helios Island, it is regularly tended to be taken care of, and the whole island not only does not fall in the slightest, but feels very popular, the greenery is very neatly trimmed, and the pond is so clear that there is not even a single rotting leaf.
The people who were busy in the villa came from two people, one of course, the people who arranged for the dinner by Rosalind, and the servants arranged by Jamie Dimon.
After a brief training, the servants already knew that the owner of the place was no longer surnamed Morgan, but had become Wu.
"Dear Mr. Wu, good evening. β
When Wu Qian stepped into the gate of the villa, more than a dozen servants bent down and saluted.
Wu Qian glanced at the makeshift team of servants, and said with a smile: "This is the Minister of Commerce of your country." β
The servants only greeted the host, and it was not good to ignore the guests, but it was a pity that these servants really didn't know Minister Ross, and after Wu Qian's introduction, everyone was busy.
"Secretary of Commerce, good evening. β
"Good evening, Minister Ross. β
It can be seen from the not very neat greetings that the people living at the bottom do not seem to be very familiar with Ross, a high-ranking official in the United States, and some people don't even know his name.
The dinner was ready, and there were many delicacies on the long table, both Chinese and Western, including a total of seven or eight countries' special delicacies, and the specifications were really not low.
Just as Wu Qian and Minister Ross were seated, and at the same time as the two opened their napkins and tucked them at their necklines, Rosalind walked into the restaurant with a serious look on her face and came to Wu Qian's side, with an anxious expression indicating that she had something to say, and Minister Ross also rang the phone.
"I'm sorry. β
"I'm sorry. β
The two said sorry to each other, and Minister Ross walked to the three-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window to answer the phone, while Wu Qian sat in place and did not move, but tilted his head to listen to Rosalind's whispered report.
"BOSS, the negotiation between Maozi and the white robe has come to an end! The result is somewhat different from your judgment......
Hearing this, Wu Qian chuckled in his heart, frowning slightly, but he continued to listen and was immediately overjoyed.
"Mao Ziguo did not agree to reduce production, not only did he not agree, but he set off the negotiating table on the spot, saying that on the basis of the current output, the production of crude oil will be increased by two million barrels per day!"
