Chapter 20 The First Mansion in New York
"Bruce! What should I say, $100 million! This has far exceeded my expectations, and your generosity is impressive! Jessica Pearson raised her glass with an enthusiastic smile, this black woman in her fifties still maintained a tall and plump figure, and the right tailored dress made her more queenly. As the managing partner of a top law firm, Jessica Pearson's ability to stand tall at the top of the ruthless legal profession and bring together some of the world's largest and most powerful firms on Pearson Hardeman's client list is understandable. However, even with her vision, she is extremely amazed by Li Jie's generosity.
Li Jie admires Flower's immediate boss, and he likes such super-capable and intelligent and realistic collaborators, who will always get things done to your satisfaction as long as there is a benefit. Therefore, Li Jie chose the most direct way to win over the other party, and used the naked money offensive to show: cooperating with me represents interests!
"Don't say that, your performance is worth the numbers, I always believe that win-win is the real win. That means we're going to have more collaborations, right, Jessica? Li Jie raised his glass and touched her, the golden liquor swaying in the heavy lead-free crystal glass, rippling with a halo.
"Always, Bruce." Jessica smiled deeply as if she meant something. "I've heard that you're looking for a new company, and I'm looking forward to working together in the future. Flower has always wanted me to put a little more burden on him, and there seem to be some empty seats in the walls of the company, what do you think? ”
"We'll see." Li Jie smiled confidently, just a title partner, as long as Flower follows in his footsteps, the future will be much more than that.
"Perfect house, great party, I have to say that your taste is as good as your talent, and it's just as impressive." Jessica turned her head to look around, and the level they were on was also very crowded, with all kinds of celebrities gathered together, and all kinds of shiny jewels dazzling.
Generally speaking, there are only two kinds of people who can buy such a mansion as "Top of the Daylight": the super-rich who are really not bad for money, the kind with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars; The other is to buy for business investment purposes. In terms of net worth, Li Jie is obviously still far from the former, looking at his manners, he is obviously different from the latter just to live for himself.
Jessica Pearson felt a little confused about whether the handsome young man in front of her with a unique style was a young and frivolous new rich man or a potential tycoon with a high spirit, she thought to herself. If judged purely by the feeling of contact, she is more optimistic about the latter. You know, Jessica Pearson's vision of people is rarely wrong, and it seems necessary to invest more.
"We Chinese people like to invite friends to get together when we move into a new house, which is called a housewarming. Jessica, your love is my greatest honor, and it is not easy to be recognized by a fashionista like you. Li Jie was not surprised, but still replied with a humble smile.
In order to make the party a success, they started to deliver invitations a week before they moved in, and all the food and snacks were taken care of by the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and 10 chefs were urgently deployed to cook on site. Archibald was in charge of the bartenders, security guards and waiters, using more than 3,500 pieces of silver cutlery, 20 cases of champagne, 10 cases of red and white wine, and even the whisky was a $10,000 bottle from Macallan 1939. Music, wine, and food were all on offer, and the whole party cost Lee Kit more than $2 million, which was extremely luxurious. The people who attended the party were celebrities, gentlemen and beauties from all walks of life, a total of nearly 300 people, if it weren't for the large enough space of his super duplex mansion, I am afraid it would really not be able to accommodate it.
It's still afternoon, standing in the sky garden and watching the sunset, the bustling New York scenery is in full view, and it is no wonder that Jessica is a little amazed, the mansion built with astronomical money is indeed an invincible view.
At this time, at the entrance of the ground floor of 432 Park Avenue, Nastia Kusacina (nastya_Kusakina) had just gotten out of the taxi when her friend Alexandra Ticlep (alexandra_Tikerpuu) hurriedly pulled her body forward involuntarily.
"Hurry up, Nastia, we're going to be late." Alexandra hurriedly pulled out the invitation card from her small satchel and handed it to the doorman, as she turned back and urged.
With some hesitation, Nastia was dragged by her friend through the luxurious lobby into the elevator, and then asked with some trepidation, "Is this appropriate, Ellie?" Although Catherine gave us the invitation, it seems that such a high-end party must be entered by herself. ”
The Catherine she is talking about is the 24-year-old Victoria's Secret spokesperson, supermodel Catherine Kate Upton. Although most of the celebrities invited to Li Kit's party, there were also some celebrities and show business, of course, these lists were arranged by Archibald, and well-known supermodels like Catherine were added to the guest list. However, she did not participate in herself, but her friend Alexandra, who also belongs to the agency Img・models, was very envious when she saw the invitation and asked for it.
Nastia and Alexandra are both new young supermodels, and although their fame has risen quickly, after all, compared to Catherine, it is generally difficult to have the opportunity to attend a party of this level.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem, the big deal is that you can't get in. How would you know if you didn't give it a try, this is 432 Park Avenue, and I've long wanted to see what the 'Top of the Sun' is like, the number one mansion in New York! Hmph, it turned out that he was bought by Bruce Lee. Alexandra was unimpressed by her friend's concerns, and she was thrilled to think of the party on the top floor.
"Bruce Lee? This name is so familiar, is it the same name as the kung fu superstar who passed away? Nastia tilted her head in confusion, but she couldn't remember where she had heard the name.
"Oh my God, Nassi, don't you watch the news? It's the young Chinese who invented the new drug 'Willida', the genius Bruce Lee! Alexandra looked at her friend in surprise.
"Oh that's it! Didn't you say it was developed in collaboration with Dr. Samsenbell? Nastia suddenly remembered, her big eyes blinking, looking very cute and charming.
"Anyway, whether it's cooperation or what's going on, it's said that he is worth at least more than a billion dollars! Don't worry, we won't send our beautiful Nassi to the bad old man, that guy is very young, and I've seen the photos and he's actually quite handsome. Alexandra was unbridled in her friend's jokes.
"Don't be kidding, there must be too many women around such a rich man to count, and they are not from the same world as us." Nastia was a little embarrassed by her, and her pretty face showed a charming flush.
