Although there is no strict definition of luxury housing in Hong Kong, there is still a clear scale in the hearts of industry insiders: the definition of luxury housing can be divided into two categories: traditional luxury housing and emerging luxury housing.

"Location" is the primary criterion for "traditional luxury homes", such as The Peak, Repulse Bay, Stanley, Mid-levels Central, Shek O, Ho Man Tin Hill in Kowloon and Kau To Shan in Sha Tin. For a long time, the high-quality properties in these places have been the places of choice for dignitaries and prominent celebrities.

The concept of "luxury homes" means that these units have a transaction value of more than 10 million yuan, and they have beautiful landscapes, mountains and seas, and are mainly low-density. On the other hand, in recent years, developers have also focused on creating a number of "emerging luxury homes", focusing on the overall packaging of the project, including the exterior design of the property, the high-end clubhouse, the luxury interior design and materials, etc., and also providing top-level private services such as private jet charter. The location of the mansion is relatively less important.

Among the traditional luxury houses, Hong Kong's Mid-Levels luxury houses have always been famous, mainly referring to the surrounding property areas below the "fog line" on Hong Kong Island, including Caine Road, Old Peak Road, Robinson Road, etc., which are closest to the core areas of Central "Mid-levels Central" and "Mid-levels West" are the most rare.

In recent years, many investors have abandoned traditional top-tier luxury properties such as hilltop villas and detached houses in favor of multi-level luxury properties in Mid-Levels. Comparatively, the humidity of mid-levels mansions is not as heavy as that at the top of the mountain, and the strata mansions usually have a strict security monitoring system, which is more secure. Moreover, these locations usually have a well-established network of prestigious schools, creating excellent conditions for the growth of the next generation. As a result, duplex units and penthouses in mid-levels luxury homes have been particularly popular.

Of course, it is not a "snail house" that can be called a "mansion", but "a snail house" here refers to the fact that people who invest in luxury houses have not only used the house for self-residence or investment, but also regarded it as a special "living art commodity", which is used for collection, or as their own concierge house or Beppu, to entertain important guests.

When they owned their first house, they arranged a safe and secure firewood, rice, oil and salt for their life there; When you own a second home, you want to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy your "slow life"; However, for the third house, it may no longer bear the burden of earthly food and daily life, or it may simply be the object of people's gaze. Here, time seems to freeze, the enjoyment of life is thoroughly practiced, the concept of collecting has been elevated like never before, and the house as a real real estate has an incomparable dazzling brilliance in the collection catalog.

Sir Thomas has always been a dignitary in Hong Kong, so the place where he lives is naturally the place where the traditional mansion is located.

It's a big area. The environment is also very good, which is very suitable for banqueting guests. To know. There are many movie and television stars who want to buy a house here after making some money. Others don't sell it, they just don't want this place to become mixed, and most of the people who are really qualified to live here are people with heads and faces.

In this regard, Zhang Tianyuan's mansion is actually not comparable, because there are still some ordinary people around his courtyard. But then again, Zhang Tianyuan really doesn't care about this. The preciousness of Hutong culture lies in the liveliness, even if the courtyard of the deep house is quiet, in addition to the house, it is also lively, isn't it beautiful?

Besides, now that the courtyard houses are basically being renovated and governed, the environment where Zhang Tianyuan lives in the future will be even better than here.

"It's here!" Liu Mengxun said, only to wake up Liu Shengping and Weng Hong from their addiction.

These two have been for a long time, and they are still immersed in the gifts given by Zhang Tianyuan and can't extricate themselves. This rich man is rich. But there are some things that you can't buy even if you have money, and it is just the gift given by Zhang Tianyuan that is really such a gift.

Liu Shengping laughed dryly. put the ornaments away and said to Zhang Tianyuan: "The front is Sir Tomaru's home, and this old man has a bit of a strange temper. But generally good, he doesn't speak Chinese or Mandarin. But Cantonese is very good, you talk to him. It can be in Cantonese and, of course, in English. ”

Zhang Tianyuan nodded, because he rarely goes to the south, so Cantonese is really good, he can say a sentence or two, and he can't understand it if he has more, but his English is good, especially after mastering the local atmosphere, this English level is also a thousand miles a day, and the entry is very fast, and a few words with an Englishman, there is absolutely no problem.

"Don't be afraid, if you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me directly, go to your aunt, find Mengmeng, you will be a family in the future, you're welcome!" Liu Shengping's current attitude towards Zhang Tianyuan will definitely make others mistakenly think that Zhang Tianyuan is his illegitimate son, this expression is a little too kind, and even Zhang Tianyuan is a little flattered.

However, Zhang Tianyuan's worry in his heart is gone, before he was worried that he had picked Liu Mengxun's most precious thing, if the couple knew, they would find him desperately, but now he is not afraid, the reason is very simple, everyone has such a good relationship. Even if the couple knew about it, they would just acquiesce, and if they didn't want to push the boat down the river, they would let them do the happy event.

"Xiao Zhang, what are you enjoying there alone?" Liu Shengping took two steps and found that Zhang Tianyuan was smirking there after parking the car, so he shouted.

Zhang Tianyuan scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in his heart that he was a foreigner, and he wouldn't dare to do this after entering the charity auction later, otherwise he would really be embarrassed.

Liu Mengxun had been shouted to the side by his father Weng Hong at this time, the mother and daughter were definitely not so close in the past, but now they are standing there, but they are talking and laughing, this is like a mother and daughter, I have to say, this is really thanks to Zhang Tianyuan.

"Actually, our accommodation in Hong Kong is not too far from here, it is only about a 20-minute walk, and it is a quick car to get there. Although Sir Thomas was very good in the past. And he is also a big philanthropist in Hong Kong, but you don't have to be too inferior, you have to be upright, like the son-in-law of our Liu family!" Liu Shengping said to Zhang Tianyuan while taking out the invitation card from his pocket.

You can see it at this point. Dozens of cars have been placed in the open-air parking lot. Although they are all very good brands, the models are very simple. Unlike some places that Zhang Tianyuan has been to in the past, there are sports cars, off-road everything, the cars here are decent and look neat, and his Mercedes-Benz SUV has become the only car with personality.

However, Liu Shengping said that it was nothing, anyway, it was not a car show, it was just a charity auction, and Sir Thomas would not mind this.

The Liu family has an invitation. However, you can bring up to four friends or relatives, which is very face-saving, after all, Tom Maru and Mr. Liu have known each other for a long time in the past, it is said that when Mr. Liu was still a native master, Tom Maru bought things from him, and it can be regarded as an old acquaintance, and Mr. Liu did not come today, not because he did not give Sir Tom Maru face, but because he did not like this kind of occasion.

Old man Liu also does charity. The Liu family has its own charitable foundation, just like the old man Liu said, he did some things to dig people's ancestral graves back then, and it is time to do good and accumulate virtue. Otherwise, there will be retribution.

Of course, this is just talking, even if he did charity, he is still seriously ill. Fortunately, he met Zhang Tianyuan and cured him, otherwise he might have gone to the Hades Palace to stand by by now.

It is a typical English manor. The area is really not small, and the architectural style inside. It's almost exactly the same as what Zhang Tianyuan saw on TV before, but with some more modern things.

Standing at the door to greet the guests was a godson adopted by Tom Maru, who is also the housekeeper of the family today.

This is no ordinary butler, but has actually been trained in England, completely according to the curriculum of medieval butlers, but with the addition of some modern courses.

Tom Maru is old, and his godson is not too young, but this is more in line with the identity of a housekeeper.

"Welcome Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu!" the butler said very respectfully after reading the invitation.

He may not know Liu Shengping and Weng Hong, but he can see Liu Shengping's surname from the invitation, so he called it that. This should be regarded as a typical British gentleman, of course, the gentleman here is not a "gentleman" as said on the Internet, but a gentleman who has received a strict education in the real sense and knows etiquette very well.

Entering the courtyard, there was a long red carpet, which looked very magnificent, not like a charity auction, but a bit like a gathering of celebrities.

The people who came were very well-dressed, but basically they were all evening dresses, the men were handsomely dressed, the women were beautifully dressed, Bai Huahua's breasts and thighs were exposed, and some of the clothes had slits on the back of their buttocks, which made Zhang Tianyuan's eyes very unnatural, and he didn't know where to put his gaze.

He finally withdrew his gaze and looked down.

Okay, this eye is directly focused on Liu Mengxun's career line, he sighed in his heart, this is what makes the hero sad to pass the beauty pass, he will really see such a world in the future, otherwise he will be so nervous every time, this is not a thing.

There are a lot of flowers and trees in the yard, which are all neatly repaired by the gardener, and they are all pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Tianyuan felt in his heart that if this manor was a collector's item, then it was definitely a high-end item in the collection, not only very well preserved, but also very beautiful to look at.

Walk through the courtyard and into the hall.

This hall is estimated to be about 200 square meters, and the area is very large. Because there is a charity auction, it is obvious that this place has been cleaned up in advance, and a lot of the furniture that was originally placed has been put in the warehouse, and instead there are some very beautiful tables and small sofas, and then there are all kinds of snacks and red wine on the table, and the wine glasses are still empty, but it doesn't matter, this is the same as the bar, you can call the waiter to serve you at any time, and the attitude is definitely better than in the hotel.

Of course, if you want to show it in front of your woman, you can also pour it yourself, which is not a problem.

Charity auctions, especially private charity auctions, are equivalent to a sugar and wine party, with food, drink, and auctioned things, which is very relaxed and natural, not as strict and restrictive as regular auctions.

Although Zhang Tianyuan is young, he is very nostalgic, especially the decoration of the house, he likes older things. For example, the decoration of Tom Maru's hall, which is basically the style of the British Middle Ages, makes Zhang Tianyuan in it, and he really feels a little bit like a British aristocracy.

At this time, because the auction has not yet started, it is a little noisy inside, people are standing in twos and threes, or sitting and chatting, although the sound is not loud, but this one is not small. (To be continued......)
