When you arrive in Los Angeles, the first thing you do is return the car.

The full insurance return of the car is fast, the other party directly got into the car, glanced at a few rooms, twisted the key, the vehicle started, looked at the amount of fuel, and signed the list. If you don't buy full insurance, such a large area of RV, it is estimated that it will take an hour to inspect, and maybe the mess found out will be more than the difference in premiums.

I heard that Xiao Yifei was going to rent another one, and the manager enthusiastically took Xiao Yi to fly to the car area, and along the way, he was like a cross talk actor practicing tongue twisters or announcing the name of a dish, crackling and pouring out the car model he had, starting from the expensive Ferrari Maserati, and chattering all the way to the Nissan Honda Corolla, if it wasn't for the short distance, he probably could say Mustang pickup.

Xiao Yifei wandered around a few times, the strength of this car rental company is indeed good, and there are indeed a lot of models, but it is definitely not suitable for business models, and people think that Xiao Yifei is a driver, so Xiao Yifei simply chose a sports car. After some selection, he finally found a 9-percent new Lotus sports car with okay shape and good condition.

After arriving at the Four Seasons Hotel Chekin, Xiao Yifei began to drive around, looking for a suitable shop to open a tasting room.

The first thing to search for must be Xiao Yifei's first choice. After careful evaluation and measurement, Xiao Yifei chose Beverly Hills as his first choice among dozens of cities in the Los Angeles metro area. The reason is naturally that considering that there are the most wealthy people here, it is also the most prosperous, and there are the most shopping places.

As mentioned earlier, Beverly Hills is not the name of a residential complex, but the name of a municipal administrative area. Topographically, it has three main roads: Wilcher Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, and Sunset Boulevard. These three streets divide Beverly Hills into 4 sections.

The east-west Wilser Avenue is home to banks and commercial buildings, and there are countless top department stores on this street. The famous Beverly Mall is on this avenue.

Because there used to be a railroad on Wilcher Avenue. Therefore, the south side of the avenue is also called the "south of the track". It's home to a large number of cottages and condominiums, and prices are among the cheapest in Beverly, between $600,000 and $2 million.

Santa Monica Boulevard, which runs northeast to southwest, is where the Halloween Parade was originally held. It is a commercial pedestrian street and is very prosperous. Southeast of Santa Monica. and Wilcher Avenue to the north, sandwiched between the business district and the Four Seasons Hotel. In addition to commercial real estate, villa prices in this area are in the second tier, probably between $1 million and $4 million.

Sunset Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard are almost parallel to each other, and the terrain between them is relatively gentle hills. It is called the "flat area". Along the street are villas ranging from $2 million to $15,000,000. Generally, everyone travels and chases stars in this area, and there are rich people, NBA, football players, or celebrities living here.

The mountains above Sunset Boulevard become steeper, and this area, along with the nearby Mount Holbey, is known as the Platinum Triangle. They are all large-scale mansions worth tens of millions, in fact, from here all the way to the Pacific Palisad by the sea, as long as it is the hillside north of Sunset Boulevard, there are basically tens of millions of high-end mansions.

It can be said that it is a gathering of celebrities, such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, etc. live in this area.

Xiao Yifei's first search must be the commercial area sandwiched between Santa Monica Avenue and Wilcher Avenue.

The nearby Beverly shopping mall said on the Internet that it was the easiest place to meet celebrities, but Xiao Yifei walked around, and he didn't see any familiar ones. However, the shopping mall is really large, with 180 brand stores. It's easy to buy seasonal fashion from major brands. Xiao Yifei just doesn't like shopping anymore, so he also bought a few thin coats and thick shirts by the way.

If you want to say that the weather in Los Angeles is really the most livable. Napa and Danville are now only 15 degrees, and there are still more than 20 degrees during the day, and the temperature is generally this throughout the winter, Xiao Yifei wears a little thicker.

Out of the Beverly Mall, the entrance to the south of Ga Road is a famous restaurant street. This small neighborhood is a historic restaurant district and is home to many of the most famous restaurants. Xiao Yifei came to the traditional old restaurant Laurester Roast Beef Rib Restaurant, which has received many praises on the Internet. Since 1955, every year before the Rugby Rose Bowl game. Players from both teams dine here, a tradition that has been formed for more than half a century. The restaurant's signature is freshly cut steak in front of the guests and served with a unique fragrant spinach puree. Lettuce salad made on site. Another feature is that the hostesses here wear maid outfits.

Back at the hotel, it was already night, Xiao Yifei went to the hotel bar to sit for a while, this bar is relatively simple, that is, the guests listen to the band playing, chat and drink, Xiao Yifei did not encounter any sexual encounters. Of course, you can also go to the pool bar, hold a wine glass, and watch the bikini beauties try their luck.

It is still very time-consuming to drive in this way, first to see if the store is empty, but also to see what business is around, if it is suitable, you have to stop there for a while and observe the traffic on the street. Fortunately, Xiao Yifei has time, and he can afford it completely.

There is an old saying: There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. Xiao Yifei really found a good place, and this place is near Rodeo Drive, Beverly's most famous shopping street.

Everyone says that Beverly's Rodeo Drive is "the world's top shopping paradise", but in fact, this shopping paradise is not just Rodeo Drive, but actually refers to a triangular area surrounded by Wilcher Avenue, Santa Monica Avenue and Crescent Street (Drive), so it is also known as the "Golden Triangle". It's just that Rodeo Drive crosses the Golden Triangle from the middle, and it has the most famous stores, and the first famous store in this area opened on Rodeo Drive, so this Golden Triangle has been called Rodeo Avenue for a long time.

In addition, the entire Rodeo Avenue is not a shopping area, out of this triangular area, whether to the south or north, Rodeo Avenue is lined with villas, which is a purely residential area.

It's fair to say that the world's top luxury brands can be found here in the Golden Triangle, which is a more upscale shopping area than the Beverly Center, and is home to more Hollywood stars. (Pierre Béger, the brand of his lover who has crossed paths with Xiao Yifei because of the head of the beast, the Saint Laurent store is in this area, and it is very luxurious, with tens of thousands of square feet.) ）

Within the Golden Triangle, across the street from Rodeo Drive, Xiao Yifei found several newly built buildings called Beverly Canon Gardens. The Canon Garden was just completed in April this year, and the building is very, very new. The main building is several 8-storey buildings connected together, with the famous Montage Hotel and a shopping mall, separated by a small garden, is a row of 3-storey buildings, Xiao Yifei's favorite shop is located on the first floor of this small building.

Now there are already 3 shops in the renovation here, Xiao Yifei has inquired carefully, these three are restaurants, according to the plan, the first floor of this row is planned to be all made into a catering area.

Xiao Yifei has carefully looked at the environment, the small garden at the door, fountains, small trees, flowers, benches, is indeed a small leisure garden, I believe it can attract many customers who are tired of shopping. Behind these houses, on one side is a huge parking lot, and the other half is a series of luxury stores. It can be said that the conditions here are good in all aspects, so he preliminarily decided to buy here.

He inquired a little, and there were two more shops for sale, one of which was a two-storefront store, about the same size as the one in San Francisco, but the price was more than 6 million, almost 3,000 US dollars per square foot, Xiao Yifei was a little hesitant.

The sales rep on the other side was still trying to persuade him:

"It's not expensive, you look at the location, you can see the famous shopping malls Rodeo Collection and MGM Pictures opposite, the famous Mitchell Gordon Bob furniture store behind it, your neighborhood is the five-star bakery Bakery and the world's most famous Mulberry Street pizza. When customers look at the Chinese restaurant you are going to open, they will definitely think that your restaurant must be high-end and the taste must be very delicious. ”

Xiao Yifei looked at the salesman sweating profusely, and he took it for granted that Xiao Yifei was going to open a Chinese restaurant.

"Who told you I was running a Chinese restaurant?"

The sales were stunned, probably thinking that you Chinese don't open Chinese restaurants, can you also open a pizzeria.

"Forget it, you just tell me how much is the minimum."

"$3,000 per square foot is already the lowest price, and the rent here is nearly $300 a square foot, which really can't be lowered."

Xiao Yifei has learned about the market here, his statement is quite reliable, this price is indeed low enough, compared with the Rodeo collection across the street with a rent of up to 500 square feet, the price here is really good, even if it is rented out, it can be repaid in 10 years.

Speaking of this Canon Garden is also quite unlucky, April this year happened to be the most serious time of the economic crisis, although the property market has not reached the lowest point, but people's willingness to buy a house has also decreased a lot, coupled with the economy is not good, the luxury market is seen to decline, so Rodeo Avenue, the "world's top shopping center" is also seen to decline, Canon Garden sales are not very smooth. Otherwise, don't talk about the market boom, even if the market is flat, the commercial real estate here is not worried. It won't be impossible to sell for half a year, so I'll leave it until now to wait for Xiao Yifei to buy it.

Xiao Yifei thought for a moment and said very simply:

"The full amount in cash, 6 million, you can go through the procedures if you want to sell it, and forget it if you don't sell it."

The sales hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

Because it is a new house, there are no formalities such as house inspection, and the subsequent legal procedures will be handled by Ryan's father, and Xiao Yifei will pay the lawyer's fees. (To be continued)
