Chapter 164: Rockefeller Manor

Specially found a road that was not blocked, Ye Dongqing hadn't bought a helicopter yet, and he didn't bother to take the time to rent another one, so he crossed the East River from Queens and headed for the upper reaches of the Hudson River.

Opened a bottle of red wine from the car wine cabinet, and the three of them took a cup in their hands and drank it separately, Romani Conti more than ten years ago, he occasionally drank some wine recently, Ye Dongqing asked the wine merchant to help him purchase a small batch, this is one of them, to be honest, in addition to the price, there is no other taste to drink, whiskey is Ye Dongqing's favorite.

He sat in the passenger seat, while Laura and her new friend Renee sat in the wide rear seat, Renee tried her best to make herself look elegant, as if she had changed her face, no longer talking about luxury, gossip, and no longer continuing to taunt Laura, trying to show the most elegant and charming side, and at the moment she was saying in a tone that was not in a hurry: "Very good red wine, my father once photographed a barrel of 80-year-old red wine, but unfortunately he couldn't drink it at all." ”

Hearing this voice, Laura felt uncomfortable, and suddenly felt that her neighbor was quite scary, completely like a copy of those Upper East Side socialites in the TV series, who knew how to use their advantages, such as the neckline, which was completely covered before, and I don't know when she was pulled down by Renee herself, almost half exposed.

It's hard to believe that this "elegant", "knowledgeable" and "caring" woman has just complained for hours on the plane, and even asked the flight attendant to clean up the blackhead to avoid making herself look uncomfortable.

Annoyed and laughing at the same time, Laura sees that Renee is trying to seduce Ye Dongqing, especially after hearing that he is the creator of Facebook, and someone recently tried to buy it for $400 million.

"I rarely drink red wine, I can't stand the bitter taste, my friend told me that there will be a party for young people in the evening, if you like hunting or horseback riding, you can have someone take you there tomorrow, it doesn't matter if you stay a few more days, I'll leave first, there's something I need to deal with in Silicon Valley." ”

This is a vaccination in advance, because Miss Mahi will fly from Paris tomorrow, and Ye Dongqing hasn't figured out how to explain to Laura, speaking of which, he and Laura's relationship is not a lover, nor is Miss Mahi, who met in the Bahamas, so it seems that there is no need to explain anything.

Renee only knew that she was going to the party, but she didn't know the specifics, so she asked him, "So where are we going now, it's not the direction of the city, is it?"

"That's right, let's go to Westchester County first. ”

"Westchester County, why go there?" Laura, a New Yorker who grew up in Manhattan, naturally knew what was over there, and her tone was slightly surprised.

"A guy from the Rockefeller family invited me to play, and I'm interested, and you'll love it too. ”

"Wow, God, is that the Rockefeller family I know?" Renee was shocked.

"There is only one Rockefeller family in the United States, and it's not wrong......"

For the first time in his life, Richard Rockefeller personally hosted a party, and Ye Dongqing was only one of the more important of his guests.

In high society, a party is not just a party, but also reflects the ability of the party owner, because of his good popularity, he has a lot of friends and is happy to come to visit.

The Rockefeller Manor originally covered a total area of 3,400 acres, and was later divided, part of which was donated to the government and charitable foundations, and ordinary people could also come to visit, neither Ye Dongqing nor Laura had ever been here, and the school they attended was relatively bad, and they were too lazy to bother organizing students to visit.

The estate includes seventy-five buildings, seventy private roads, a sculpture garden, an underground art gallery, a playground for children, a nine-hole golf course, a farm, a large wild forest park and several lakes, and an artificial swan lake that Rockefeller gave to his wife.

It is said that it was donated, but the descendants of the Rockefeller family still enjoy the right to use a large number of facilities, plus its personal guard, gardeners, convoys, and domestic servants, it is like a small self-sufficient country, so there is also a saying: "If God had that much money, God would build such a dwelling." ”

The Rockefeller family has spent a lot of money to operate here for more than 100 years, and the classics reveal luxury, and there are still ten small Rockefeller families living here, and Richard Rockefeller's main line is only one of them. In the luxurious villa where D. Rockefeller lived, the walls were covered with greenery, there were two rows of trees and fountains in front of the door, and the garden was very European.

After letting the driver drive around and read it, Ye Dongqing had more ideas in his mind, the idea of taking care of the forty-eight-acre island, compared with the Rockefeller family's manor, the original layout was still smaller, and sent a message to the architectural design firm in charge of the renovation and asked them to send someone to take a look here.

Along similar lines, he added a sculpture garden and a small private museum, and when he had the money, he thought he would buy some art to put in it. Soon received a reply saying that he would come and take a look and re-make the planning and design drawings.

There are quite a lot of luxury cars on the roadside, and he finally saw the second Rolls-Royce Phantom with a Rhode Island license plate, the body is white, not as attractive as black, but it is not bad.

It's not to the point where you can underestimate anyone, there are too many rich people in the United States, such as an antique-level Ferrari 290MM with "600" written on the body, maybe you can use it to exchange it for ten Bugatti supercars that have not been officially delivered, and you can casually fetch a high price of at least 20 million US dollars, Ye Dongqing has no doubts about this.

After getting out of the car, he called Richard, he personally went out to receive Ye Dongqing, Laura just couldn't help but look at the other party, and Renee was almost so excited that she fainted, and kept winking when shaking hands.

Richard looked very interested, and squeezed his eyebrows at Ye Dongqing and said, "Introduction?"

"This is Laura, my former secretary, who is going to university in the UK, and Miss Renee, a new friend Laura has just met in the UK, who has just come to New York for a trip. ”

The meaning is obvious, Laura is his girlfriend, Renee can hook up at will, Richard heard this, immediately changed his attitude, smiled and said to Renee: "Please call me Richard, would you be interested in playing golf together later?" I like your British accent, in fact my mother is English." ”

Renee suddenly smiled even more happily: "Thank you, my father also has an oil company, but it is not very large, it is just a small company, and it has been listed in London for many years. That's not the point though, I love your manor, it feels like the Queen's Palace. ”

Ye Dongqing and Laura looked at each other and smiled, both of them thought that this scene was interesting, and it could be regarded as Wang Ba looking at mung beans and meeting their eyes......
