Chapter 103: Beverly Hills Mansion

Helicopters are much slower than passenger planes, but if you want to see the scenery from the sky, it's a great way to take a long trip.

Han Xuan hadn't been to Los Angeles for several years, and the city was changing rapidly, looking down from a helicopter, except for a few high-rise buildings in the city center, the residences were dominated by small earthquake-resistant wooden villas, which were located in the earthquake zone.

If you look closely, you will find that Los Angeles is the second largest financial center in the United States after New York, and it is also a beautiful seaside city on the West Coast.

The old man has a villa in Beverly Hills, Han Xuan went there directly today, Benjamin used to live in Los Angeles and was familiar with the address, so he flew around the city and went west.

Beverly Hills is a world-famous dream destination for the world's richest people, located west of Los Angeles, on the crisp Pacific coast.

Countless prominent celebrities have settled in the many mansions over there, so Beverly is synonymous with wealth and fame.

Seeing Rodeo Street, Han Xuan suddenly remembered the movie "Pretty Woman", he remembered Julia Roberts, who played **, when she went to the street to buy clothes in a cold state, she was looked at by the clerk, and the scene in the movie came from Beverly Street.

Rodeo Drive famously said, "Don't ask the price when you buy something, and if you do, you can't afford it." ”

Although the street is small, it is home to some of the world's top luxury brands, such as Chanel, Tiffany, LV, Christian Dior, Gucci, Zegna and many more.

The majestic skyscrapers of Manhattan, the remarkable bustle of New York's Fifth Avenue, and the extraordinary creativity of Las Vegas are amazing and beyond imagination. Miami's beautiful beaches, as well as the incomparably eye-catching cool guys and beautiful girls, Broadway singing and dancing, Hollywood Disneyland, and Times Square.

The United States is a paradise for the poor, but also a paradise for the rich, where you can be free to wander day and night, and you can get drunk and drunk every night.

Mr. Han's villa sits on the slopes of Beverly Hill and overlooks the famous Sunset Boulevard.

The building area is 36,000 square feet (about 3,344 square meters), covering an area of 2 acres (about 8,093 square meters).

French-style villa, with a Mengsa-style roof, a twisted slope, and rows of delicate dormer windows around it with different shapes.

The exterior wall is made of stone, and the details are treated with French columns, carvings, and lines, presenting a romantic and elegant style, and the whole building is symmetrical and magnificent.

In front of the house, flowers and greenery can be seen everywhere, and the garden style garden is orderly and rigorous, with a grand scale, and gradually unfolds with the axis as the center of the composition, forming an overall and wide outward-facing garden, reflecting the extraordinary French royal court culture.

In the center of the garden stands a six-meter-tall golden sculpture in the shape of the cartoon dragon of the SOS Group, which is shimmering and glittering in the mild Los Angeles summer sun, which is much more luxurious than the house in the snowy mountain ranch.

There was a special apron at the corner of the garden, and to avoid the strong wind blowing from the propellers, Han Xuan jumped down with a small box. Two white men in black suits were walking briskly when they saw the boy making a gesture of invitation, one leading him to the villa, and the other staying behind to help arrange Benjamin's accommodation.

The dark brown door is ornate and elegant, and when you open it, the first thing that catches your eye is a marble passage that shimmers with a jet-black sheen that runs through the corridor.

Past an 18th-century Venetian long table, then a side table made of antique round tables split in two, and a mirror decorated with abalone shells.

At the end of the marble passage is a staircase that slopes up to the living room.

Standing 20 feet high, this living room features a pale amethyst-colored ceiling and coral-red walls inlaid with golden leaves that appear to have been carved out of a single piece of pure gold.

In the four corners of the gray carpet of the living room, four life-size black statues stand above, and above the statues hang a set of eight late 17th-century Venetian-style paintings.

In the middle of this slightly magnificent scene, Han Xuan's grandfather and his grandmother are sitting in Louis XV-style chairs, made of white mink, and there is no doubt that everything here is luxurious to the extreme.

Sitting next to them by the window, the scenery outside is beautiful, the sun shines on the body in the summer is a little hot, fortunately the room is equipped with central air conditioning, comfortable like spring.

"Has it been renovated?" Han Xuan asked, stretching his waist, the surrounding layout was not the same as he remembered.

Grandma pushed the freshly squeezed watermelon juice on the round table to him, and said in Chinese with a smile: "Well, I just got it last year, I don't like it very much, but your grandfather often entertains guests at home, and he can't lose face." ”

"What kind of face, the decoration company I found did my best to use it for me, it was really a big loss, the house was only more than 20 million, and the decoration cost nearly 3 million first. ”

Old Man Han opened his mouth and saw that his grandson was very happy, smiling and squinting his eyes, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, his hair had just been dyed black recently, and he looked much younger.

"Have you eaten at noon? You haven't eaten yet, I'll let them do it later, let's go, it's just right now." Grandma took Han Xuan's hand, stood up and spoke.

"Simply ate a little. Han Xuan nodded obediently.

"I bought the dish myself, and I was afraid that it wouldn't be to your taste, so I asked the chef to make it. ”

Hearing her words, Mr. Han dismantled the stage and said: "What you bought, you didn't go directly to the convenience store to get it, no wonder the accounts often don't match, maybe it's still produced in our own vegetable garden."

was glared at by the old woman, the old man's voice became quieter and quieter, and in the end, he shut up directly, followed behind the old and young in a stupid manner, and went downstairs to the restaurant.

The house is too big, and it takes a long time to eat, and when I passed by the living room, the model on the table attracted Han Xuan's attention, and he turned his head to look at his grandfather: "What is it?"

"Oh, the architectural model. ”

Old man Han took his hand and walked to the center of the living room, and said in his mouth: "The office of the old building is not enough, and I have found a few construction companies to help design the new building, but I haven't thought about the scale yet, so I have to go up 200 meters, and no matter how short it is, it looks like a small family." ”

The old SOS building is more than 30 stories high opposite Los Angeles City Hall, and the building was built in the 40s, which is indeed a bit out of date.

Thinking of the Dubai Sightseeing Tower that he had climbed before, Han Xuan was annoyed, but his heart was a little hot. After all, what man can not love skyscrapers.
