To Shi Lei's surprise, the real estate recommendation given by the agent in the United States was not Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, nor Manhattan Island in New York, but in Atherton, California.

In this regard, Shi Lei has not changed much from two years ago, and he doesn't know enough about the luxury housing area in China, let alone the United States.

To him, it is nothing more than Beverly Hills or Manhattan and other places, what the hell is Atherton?

In front of Yao Er, there was nothing to hide, Shi Lei directly said that he had never heard of this place.

Of course, Yao Er will not laugh at Shi Lei, the upstart, there is always a process of accepting these things.

If you are an American upstart, it is easy to understand what Atherton is, because many of the American upstarts are in the IT industry, and Atherton is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, close to Stanford.

Yao Er told Shi Lei: "Atherton is the top luxury housing area in the United States, with a median property price of nearly six million US dollars, and it is located in the center of Silicon Valley. ”

When Shi Lei heard it, he immediately understood that it was Silicon Valley.

"It turned out to be Silicon Valley, so it's not surprising, the rich people in Silicon Valley really don't care about millions of dollars in real estate. ”

Shi Lei thought that his inference was good, but he didn't expect Yao Er to give him a head-on blow again.

"Not really. Although there are indeed many rich people in Silicon Valley, and Atherton's house is really nothing to them, Atherton lives in the same group of people who are called Old Money in the United States, and their ancestors are very wealthy. The house in this area is not something that can be bought with money. It took a lot of effort for this agent to find a property for sale. ”

"I'm your boss, can you give me some face?" Shi Lei said self-deprecatingly.

Yao Er smiled slightly and said, "Sir, you are not an American, and you have never lived in the United States, and your understanding of the United States is all known from movies and television. It's normal not to understand any of this. ”

"Just tell me how much that house costs. ”

The house was about 1,000 square meters, had its own pool and tennis court, and was currently quoted at $22 million. ”

After a pause, Yao Er added: "The agent told me that this offer is not particularly large, the other party is an old Republican, more old-fashioned, and he has an additional condition for selling this property, that is, that person must pass his interview." ”

Shi Lei frowned when he heard this, the last thing he wanted was to deal with this kind of person.

And the most important thing is that the house is 22 million US dollars, and the soft sister coins are only 150 million, Shi Lei is holding 400 million soft sister coins and wants to smash it, and he still expects to get a real estate of more than 100 million US dollars to be more suitable.

In the early 1,000 square meters, a swimming pool can kill a lot, tennis court? Shi Lei always felt that this matter was a bit unreliable.

Yao Er didn't know Shi Lei's psychology, and still introduced: "This house is not big, only five bedrooms and five bathrooms, and it is not in the central area of Atherton, it is a newly built property, and it has not even been inhabited." Originally, the old Republican wanted to build a home for his daughter, but his daughter didn't want to stay in Silicon Valley and went to Miami, so she was ready to make a move. ”

Shi Lei said bluntly: "The owner is troublesome, and the price is not suitable, let the other party look for it again." ”

Yao Er was stunned for a moment and said: "The housing price is negotiable, and the trouble is indeed a little bit, but the agent told me that the old Republican Party is very loyal to the party, and the purpose of his interview is to prevent the other party from being related to the Democratic Party." Sir, you don't really have to worry about that......"

Shi Lei interrupted Yao Er's words and said, "Not only this, but I am not too high in the house price, I am too low." The five bedrooms and five bathrooms are a bit smaller, and I would like to occupy a larger area. ”

Yao Er was stunned, knowing that he had misunderstood what Shi Lei meant, and hurriedly said, "Okay, then I'll go back to the other party." In this way, sir, you can give me a psychological price, which cannot be exceeded, and I can make the other party more purposeful. ”

Shi Lei groaned: "The highest is unlimited, and the minimum is forty or fifty million." ”

"Okay, then I get it. What's wrong with you, sir, how do you feel a little pompous?"

This is also normal, even if Yao Er has always wanted to ask more about Shi Lei's affairs, seeing that Shi Lei will have more than 50 million US dollars as soon as he buys a house, and he deliberately said that there is no cap, which is somewhat strange.

"I have my purpose, you bother. ”

Of course, Shi Lei didn't explain much, so Yao Er hung up the phone and re-communicated with the other party's agent.

Not long after, Yao Er's call came in again.

"Sir, there's a new follow-up over there, there's a home for sale in Sagaponac, New York, forty-five million. ”

Shi Lei scratched his head again and said, "What kind of place is Sagaponak?" ”

"This place belongs to the state of New York, and thirty or forty years ago it was just a potato farm, on Long Island, New York. However, in the past few decades, it has been developed into the most expensive luxury housing area in the entire United States. The Atherton I told you earlier is only the second largest luxury residential area in the United States, and Sagaponak is the top of the list. The median price of his homes is $8.5 million, and the one for sale now is not the most expensive in the area. The most expensive one reached 1.5 billion dollars. ”

Shi Lei was a little excited when he heard it, one and a half billion, how good would it be if he could buy this set? That is, he would directly kill one billion soft sister coins, and half of this quota cycle, the next quota cycle, and half of the next quota cycle were consumed.

"Is that 1.50 billion for sale or not?"

Hearing Shi Lei's voice, he was a little excited, and Yao Er was also a little speechless.

"Sir, are you sure you really want to buy a property in the United States that costs more than 100 million yuan?"

Shi Lei frowned and said, "Why not?"

"Although there are not many expenses when buying a house in the United States, any property needs to pay property tax every year. For example, the kind of property you ask for, basically the annual tax is more than 3% of the house price, and a property of more than 100 million yuan will send 3 million dollars to the US government every year. ”

Although three million US dollars is obviously nothing to Shi Lei now, Shi Lei has not lived in the United States for a long time after all, he bought a house, and in Yao Er's opinion, the meaning of investment is heavier, and he spends millions every year to pay taxes, which is obviously more than worth the loss. To put it mildly, a few million dollars a year is almost enough to charter a presidential suite in a five-star hotel on Manhattan Island. Not to mention that after buying such a property, it needs to be maintained by regular workers, and it will cost millions of dollars a year, to say the least.

However, Shi Lei's answer was unusually simple: "Just hand it over." ”

Yao Er hung up the phone in silence, he couldn't understand Shi Lei anymore, it stands to reason that Shi Lei is not such an exaggerated person, why is he so stubborn in buying a house?

However, since it was Shi Lei's request, he still complied, so he called his agent again and told the other party that if he could find a more expensive one, it would be best if he couldn't find it.

Another week passed, and Yao Er helped Shi Lei finalize a total of three residences.

One is this 45 million house, and the agent found another property in Sagaponak, this one, which is more expensive than the previous one, and sells for 73 million dollars.

And the rest is back in the name of the old Republican, in the real heart of Atherton, where he now lives.
