Chapter 523 [Discovering the Secret Letter]
Although there are very few places for this building to be renovated, it is impossible for the Yang family's private gold pirate museum to open for business in less than two months. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info so the task of decoration is very compact, fortunately, Yang Yong gave enough money and the two sides are also old relationships, no need to tell Yang Yong's preferences.
In addition, with the experience of renovating a gold museum, the progress was quite smooth, and Yang Yong stopped after all the work was on track. It's time to think about your own life, and although it is very comfortable to live in the Willis family, the life aspect is well taken care of.
But I always feel awkward when I live in someone else's house. In addition, Los Angeles is a famous tourist city, especially Hollywood, which is world-famous, since I came to Los Angeles, I plan to buy a house to settle here.
It is also a good choice to bring your family to live in Los Angeles for a few days each year, and you can blurt out where the best place in Los Angeles is for a foreigner. That's Beverly Hills, and Beverly Hills is all rich or expensive, and it can be said that Hollywood stars are everywhere. Therefore, the security is very good, there will be no accidents, and the house can maintain its value, so Yang Yong plans to settle down in Los Angeles, and the first choice must be Beverly Hills.
Someone doesn't need it, it's a fool, as a landlord, Willis was arrested by Yang Yong and accompanied Yang Yong to Beverly to buy a house. Beverly Hills is built on a hill with Hollywood behind it, and is strategically located. Every independent villa in the villa can easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and even some century-old buildings should be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which is higher than the cost of the pirate museum.
There are many celebrities here, excellent security, and the relatively cool climate makes it a rare place to live in Los Angeles. Therefore, Beverly Hills has always been a sought-after commodity, and money may not be able to buy it, but Yang Yong is standing next to Willis, the famous local snake in Los Angeles.
So the purchase of a property in the lodge is going very smoothly, and there are three to choose from. The area is all within five acres, after all, Beverly Hills has a limited area, and there is no place in a large estate.
The first alternative target is to move a 1.5-acre estate with a newly built estate that is only over thirty years old. It is more modern and covers an area of more than 0.5 acres, and the remaining one acre is the green space of the estate, the house is good enough and the living facilities are complete. It has three indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, and its own garden. But it lacks so much life, and it looks like a location for film companies.
So this pass is gone, and the second place to choose from is to move the property halfway up the mountain, which occupies only one acre and is a little smaller. But although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs, and there is everything in the manor, but the greenery is relatively scarce. In addition, it is located in the middle of the mountain, the sun intensity is high, it is relatively hot, and there is a lack of water, so this is also passed.
Thirdly, Yang Yong felt very satisfied, and the property was located at the foot of the hill covering an area of an astonishing 2 acres. The house was built 80 years ago, and is made of brick and stone, warm in winter and cool in summer, and photocopied in dense greenery. Those greenery cover more than 1 acre and another 0.5 acres is a small lake, although not large, and even a small island in the center.
There is also a hundred-year-old apple tree with a diameter of more than three meters on the island, which is particularly beautiful reflected in the sparkling lake. And this apple tree grows very healthy, producing about a ton of apples every year.
What made Yang Yong feel excited was that the main building of the manor actually adopted oriental elements, with red bricks and green tiles combining Chinese and Western elements. Although the house is not big, there are more than 50 rooms enough for a large family to live in it, and there are even two swimming pools inside and outside. The back garden is not planted with the famous flowers, but with a vegetable patch, of course, which is now deserted, a greenhouse and even a tennis court in the estate.
The former owner of this manor was actually a famous Hollywood superstar, Vivien Leigh. Of course, Vivien Leigh is only the first owner of this manor, and the later owners are unknown. Anyway, the price of this manor reached 200 million US dollars, although the price is a bit expensive but it is worth the money, Yang Yong did not hesitate to buy it, and renovated it together with the pirate museum.
It just so happens that in the warehouse of the Yang family, a lot of precious wood is stored, such as red sandalwood and huanghuali. In addition, the house is a combination of Chinese and Western, the decoration plan is based on Oriental Chinese, and the decoration is based on the bookish atmosphere, and all the furniture is made in accordance with the Chinese style.
Although I bought a house, I still have to renovate it, and I can't do it in two months. Therefore, Yang Yong planned to inspect the renovation progress of the Pirate Museum and then take a plane back to Huaxia Manor. But I didn't expect that when I had just signed the Beverly Hills real estate contract that Yang Yong considered to be No. 2 Huaxia Manor, the mobile phone rang loudly.
When I got up, I saw that it was James's butler, and at this time James himself should be watching the renovation process at the Pirate Museum. How did you remember to call yourself? Could it be that there were any difficulties encountered in the renovation of the house? Fortunately, the sales contract of Huaxia Manor No. 2 had been signed, and the check was almost issued.
So Yang Yong confessed, came to the tennis court of the manor, picked up the phone and said with a smile. "James, why are you in such a hurry to call me? ”
At this time, James was on the fourth floor of the pirate museum, which was General Michelle's study. Looking at a deerskin scroll pulled out of the wall in front of him, he shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"Sir, didn't the decorator encounter any difficulties, but a deerskin scroll came out of the wall. The content in it is relatively popular, and if it is made public, it will change the original history of the entire American Civil War. Come and take a look! The contents of the scroll are really not suitable for publication. ”
Got a scroll out of the wall, could it be another treasure map? Thinking of this, Yang Yong's eyes began to glow, and at the same time, he also understood that the matter in this scroll was very important, and he said that it was not safe on the phone. Anyway, there's not much distance, just go over and see for yourself.
So I told James on the phone to be a housekeeper and pay attention to safety. Then he went back to the house and signed a check with the real estate agent, and both parties signed the papers, and from then on, the more than two acres of Huaxia Manor No. 2 officially belonged to the private property of the Yang family.
Then let his driver, Granger, drive a bulletproof Mercedes Benz and run to the fourth floor of the Pirate Museum. After meeting Steward James, he saw a deerskin scroll, which was said to be a scroll, but it was actually a deerskin-wrapped notebook. And the notebook was tightly wrapped without any moisture, the notebook was made of leather for more than 100 pages, and the contents of it surprised Yang Yong after opening it.
Because this is the diary of General Michelle, a famous general in the South, it records almost all kinds of events that happened during the entire Civil War. The most shocking part of the content was actually the Queen Victoria of England at the time, who secretly supported the transportation of some weapons and ammunition in the Southern Federation.
