Chapter 102: Immature Little Flying Shoes
In the evening, a Wall Street dinner.
Because it was not promoted in advance, and it was not a Hollywood kind of banquet, it was very low-key, not to mention gossip media reporters, and there were not even those professional financial reporters.
Abel drove his rented Lincoln City to 133 West Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, and stopped at the entrance of the skyscraper building.
Soon a tuxedo-clad waiter came out of the service desk of the building, and he asked very politely and friendly, "Excuse me, are you a guest at Mr. Hamilton's banquet?"
"Yes. ”
"You can leave your car to me and I will take good care of it. Then my colleague will send you to Mr. Hamilton's banquet. ”
"Okay. Thank you. ”
That's valet parking.
This is New York City, Manhattan, and Fifth Avenue. There is almost no underground parking, and the most popular buildings and houses here have always been those skyscrapers and apartments.
Especially since the end of the 20th century, with the rise of many new money, these skyscrapers here in New York have become popular with them, and their prices have risen more and more.
However, mansions like skyscraper apartments obviously do not have many parking spaces due to limited congenital conditions.
After all, this is New York and Manhattan, and it is impossible to dig the basement in advance when building a community building like in China.
It's full of valuable buildings, and one next to the other, with almost no gaps in between. At this time, you are building a building next to someone else, and you have to dig a deep basement, do you think your two neighbors next door will let you dig it?
Therefore.
In addition to the foundation.
There are very few buildings in Manhattan that go deep underground, and Grand Central Terminal and the New York subway were built early.
If they are built now.
The federal government and the city government of New York City are also powerless to promote it.
Without a basement, naturally there won't be much parking. But who doesn't have several luxury cars to live here? In addition to parking on the street, it is only when attending a banquet that the building's service staff will park the car in other places.
When the guest is leaving.
Then send the guest's car over.
The high property fees of those skyscraper apartments are reflected here.
Abel smiled and said thank you.
Led by another waiter, he walked into the skyscraper, where Hamilton's banquet tonight was on top of the loft apartment on the top two floors of the building.
Led by the building's personal service butler, Abel took the private direct elevator and soon reached the rooftop.
The building's personal service butler arrived, and he smiled and motioned to Abel, and they arrived at their destination.
But he won't follow.
Abel walked out of the elevator alone, walked out of the corner of the elevator corridor, and suddenly opened up in front of him.
Under bright lights.
The apartment platform on the top of this attic was already full of guests at this time, and there were crowds of people gathered together to chat, all of them were well-dressed and looked like high society.
Walking into the roof of the dinner attic, looking at the furnishings, Abel couldn't help but curse in his heart, it was this kind of buffet-style banquet, fortunately, he had eaten something before.
Hamilton was talking and laughing with a circle of people, but from time to time he looked at the door, saw Abel coming, immediately said something to the group, and then walked towards him with a smile on his face.
"Hey, my friend, welcome here...... How's it going, how does it feel?" Hamilton smiled enthusiastically.
"It's chic!" Abel glanced overhead, not the oppressive dome and roof, not the ceiling, but the extravagant sky in Manhattan. Only from the top floor of this kind of loft apartment can you see such a view.
"It's beautiful!"
He praised.
"Haha! Very good, isn't it?!Unfortunately it's not mine, this is a loft apartment sold by someone Tuo Gao Sheng! We call it the Crown Loft, there are three floors, 29 floors, 30 floors, 31 floors, each floor is 5,300 square feet. The 29th and 30th floors add up to more than 10,000 square feet, and the top floor is where we are standing now, with an indoor area of just over 1,000 square feet, and the rest is more than 4,000 square feet of this mesmerizing sky garden!"
Hamilton introduced the property to Abel like a real estate agent, but the house introduced by him, the real estate agent, is not something that everyone can afford!
"It was perfect!it was a dream house and it was in a great location. Located just around the corner of Fifth Avenue, Central Park is visible at a glance...... There is no better house in the world than him!"
"Uh...... Since it's so good, what is its price?"
"The reserve price is $60 million, and it will be one of the auction items in a wait!"
"Okay. ”
Abel shrugged.
This very rare penthouse apartment in Manhattan is luxurious, but obviously it is also very luxurious.
$60 million reserve price!
This is 60 million US dollars in 1990! If you take this 60 million US dollars to buy a house in the imperial capital of Huaxia, it is estimated that after 30 years, you can buy more than 30 attic apartments with all the money you earn!
Obviously, the housing prices in the imperial capital of China in 30 years have risen more than 30 times compared with now.
After a vignette of a party pitch.
Hamilton enthusiastically brought Abel into the crowd, like the New York high society present:
"Hey! Let's see who is coming! As I told you just now, there is an investment genius who spent $50 million today, but made 1.2 billion, and that's him! Mr. Abel Sephorosa! A young investment genius is also a scientist! Pfizer recently spent $300 million to buy a patent for a new drug from him!
Under his introduction.
Everyone smiled and shook hands with Abel. Although Abel didn't like this kind of fake politeness, he still had to deal with it, shaking hands with them with a smile and saying hello.
And then he found out.
Almost all of the people Hamilton introduced were some Wall Street executives, or some celebrities.
Like what......
There was one guest who surprised Abel because he recognized him.
"Hello, Mr. Sephorosa. I'm George Walker Bushu. I'm the general manager of the Texas Rangers baseball team, so come to Texas and watch us play if you have a chance! It's a good team, and I'm sure you're going to love us!"
Wow puppet!
It's him!
Eleven years later.
This is the nominal supreme leader of the United States.
"Nice to meet you. Don't mind if I call you George? You can call me Abel. ”
"Oh, of course I don't mind! Nice to meet you, Abel. ”
The future Flying Shoes President smiled.
