After many attempts at closing the door, the people of the major pharmaceutical companies finally gave up the small abacus from Li Jie's side and focused on dealing with the negotiation team organized by Flower. There is no way, there is not much time left for them, and after nearly two months of various tests and tests, the three batches of more than 500 people who participated in the clinical trial have all performed in excellent condition, and the effect of "Weilida" is unbelievably good. Coupled with the fact that there are almost no adverse reactions, it is obvious that the success of this new drug is already a certainty, and the only key is who will spend it.

While the big and small media are hyped, Pfizer, the real pharmaceutical giants, finally can't hold back, and they have tried their best to defeat their competitors, and they have become generous, and the price has risen almost every day.

It's harvest season.

Li Jie, who avoided these trivial matters, seemed extremely leisurely and comfortable, except for soaking in the Oak Heed laboratory to try some new ideas, that is, reading books and basking in the sun every day.

During this period, Archibald appeared once, and after a comprehensive evaluation of the new drug "Virida", he took the initiative to register a VIP account with Citibank for Li Jie, and at the same time sent a black credit card called "Ultima". According to him, only with this kind of black card can the "noble status" of the card owner be demonstrated. Because this kind of black card does not accept applications, only the bank takes the initiative to invite customers to join.

Amex, which was the first to launch the black credit card "Centurion" (Centurion Card), also cooperated with Citibank, and now the Amex credit card has been handed over to Citibank.

Then Li Jie's mobile phone rang, and a sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dear Mr. Li, I am Estrid Percy, your exclusive personal bank secretary. This phone number is available 24 hours a day, and we will do our best to meet all your requests. ”

Lisa's chick happened to be by her side, and when she saw Archibald sending a black card, she looked at it curiously for a long time, and finally happily pulled Li Jie to go shopping. Li Jie shook his head and sighed, human vanity, dividing classes through similar means seems to be something that human beings have been happy to do for thousands of years.

But Mephisto loved it! Isn't endless ** the essence of the fallen world?

After walking around the street with Lisa for most of the day, poor March and Gus, two powerful demons, became bag-carrying customers, each carrying a bunch of shopping bags. At this time, Li Jie was also interested, thinking that it was not very convenient to stay in the hotel all the time, so he took out the phone and dialed the bank secretary: "Estrid, I want the best mansion in New York, can you help me get in touch?" Thank you. ”

Half an hour later, the group appeared in Midtown Manhattan and entered a gleaming skyscraper with a luxury elevator up to the 86th floor. Entering the apartment, Lisa excitedly walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, stretched out her arms at the verdant greenery beneath her feet, and embraced the bird's-eye view of Central Park. "Oh my God, it's so beautiful!"

Archibald, who rushed to accompany him at the first time, also gasped, such a mansion is not cheap! He had already greeted the private banking department, and he had to inform himself of any request from Li Jie as soon as possible, so he almost arrived with Li Jie and them.

Elizabeth Sample, a senior consultant and agent at Sotheby's International Realty Global Real Estate, was not surprised to notice Archibald and Lisa's expressions. Every guest who visits the apartments here will have that kind of "Wow! A smile appeared on her face: "Welcome to the One57 Premier Apartment Suite, a full-floor apartment that occupies an entire floor and covers an area of 6,250 square feet (about 580 square meters). ”

"It's great, but it should be expensive." Although Lisa was excited, she thought that the price of the house was estimated to be astronomical.

"The price of this suite is about $68 million, Miss Marcos." Elizabeth replied.

"In other words, it's nearly $11,000 per square foot." Lisa's eyes widened in surprise as she quickly converted her mind.

There has always been resentment in the heart of Li Jie, the original owner of the body, not to mention that only the housing prices in China are high, and the United States is not much better, and it costs a lot of property taxes and maintenance fees every year. And no matter where you are, the pyramid is always getting narrower and narrower the higher you go, and the real top luxury homes will always be a scarce resource, especially in a big city like New York, look at this apartment at your feet, the average price per square meter has exceeded $100,000.

"This is a high-end luxury residence tailored for the top wealthy like Mr. Lee, with the five-star Park Hyatt hotel just below the apartment, and residents can enjoy the full range of Park Hyatt's upscale facilities and hotel services. Other residential amenities include a 24-hour doorman, screening and performance space, parking, a triple-height indoor pool and custom Jacuzzi bathtub, library, yoga studio, spa area, kitchen, and private fitness center for relaxation at any time. We guarantee that all residents of the building will enjoy the unique five-star service provided by the Parkhyatt Hotel on the lower 30 floors. Elizabeth Sample introduced the details of the apartment very professionally, and carefully observed Li Jie's expression, speculating in her heart what kind of identity this Chinese teenager was, and he was actually directly introduced by Citi's VIP department.

"Across the street is Carnegie Hall, just a few blocks from Central Park. The building was designed by the famous French architect Christian de Pottsambach (christian_De_Portzamparc). If you look over here, you can see Central Park, Lower and Middle New York, and the Hudson River. one57 has a total of 90 floors and a total of 92 apartments for sale. Approximately ninety percent of ...... have been sold."

"Are you sure this is the best?" Li Jie had no joy on his face, and directly interrupted the plump and beautiful agent's gushing introduction. "Why don't you take us to the top floor?"

"Sorry......" Elizabeth, who has always been very eloquent, was a little caught off guard and was interrupted. Oh, my God! Such a mansion is not satisfied, the Chinese people are really rich!

She froze, and replied with some embarrassment. "I'm really sorry, Mr. Li, the penthouse of one57 has been sold, and some customers have asked before, but the owner said that he has no intention of making a move."

Lisa suddenly felt a little dizzy, what kind of mansion did Bruce want to buy. One57's luxury apartment had only been vaguely rumored before, and now that Bruce was in the middle of it, Bruce was not satisfied.

"I thought you could do better, Mr. Evelyn." Li Jie turned to Archibald with a blank face, although he did not think that Citibank could meet all the requirements at his current value, but that was obviously not enough.

Sweating profusely, Archibald pulled Elizabeth to the side and whispered for a moment, and then the two of them answered dozens of phone calls before they came over. "I'm sorry it was our mistake. Mr. Li, the one57 penthouse has been bought by the Prime Minister of Qatar for $100 million, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince this gentleman to make a move. But we have a better option! ”

Li Jie nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"According to Elizabeth, 432 Park Avenue may have an option that fits your requirements, and now their penthouse duplex is open for sale. Are you interested in this 14,500-square-foot (1,350-square-meter) condominium, named Thetopofthesunshine (The Top of the Sunshine), located on the 97th to 98th floors? He didn't expect that this Mr. Li Jie's unangry and powerful appearance would give people so much pressure, for fear that the other party would be angry, and he spoke very quickly, showing a very high level of professionalism.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go. Li Jie gently patted Archibald on the shoulder.

Archibald's tallest building in New York and the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere is located on Manhattan's Park Avenue, between streets 56 and 57, with a total height of nearly 1,400 feet (about 426 meters), which is literally a group of buildings in Manhattan and about 150 feet higher than the Empire State Building (empire_state_Building). Even if you don't count the spire, this super-mansion is 28 feet above the newly built World Financial Center (world_Financial_center). From all 5 boroughs of New York City, you can see 432 Park Avenue. There is also a famous joke since the construction of this high-rise building: because it is so high, it is estimated that even King Kong will be discouraged.

No matter how you look at it, the towering 432 Park Avenue has a bit of a taste of independence. Never before has a residential building in New York been more remarkable than 432 Park Avenue.

Everyone came to the "Top of the Daylight" on the top floor, where another agent was already waiting.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lee and Miss Marcos, I'm Gallup Cook, and I'm at your service." It was a thin, middle-aged Caucasian man with a gentle smile on his face.

"Allow me to introduce you to the 'Top of the Daylight,' the jewel at the top of 432 Park Avenue." He walked ahead and led Li Jie around the entire apartment.

More than 2,500 square feet of lofts and sky gardens overlook the famous Central Park, the Hudson and East River in New York, and the five boroughs of New York and the Atlantic coastline.

It includes 5 master suites, 6 full baths and 3 and a half baths, separate guest suites plus staff accommodation, an entertainment room, a dining room that can accommodate up to 20 people, a gallery, and a meeting room. Even more extravagant and awe-inspiring is the indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

Standing on the edge of the Sky Garden, you suddenly feel like you have the whole city under your feet. Li Jie immediately decided that this is it! Although it is not as good as the ruined castle of Mephisto, the name "Top of the Daylight" and the view overlooking the whole city are destined to be the most suitable for him. "Very well, how much does it cost here?"

"The 'Top of the Daylight' was sold for $178 million, and the estimated transaction fees and taxes are already included, Mr. Lee." Gallup Cook replied.

"There seems to be an invisible tacit understanding with me here, and it seems that its owner can only be me." Li Jie nodded, showing a satisfied smile.

Archibald didn't expect him to be sure so quickly, and couldn't help but show hesitation, because as far as she knew, Li Jie's most valuable thing was the new drug patent that had not yet been sold. Although Citi recognizes the value of new drugs, after all, the patent has not yet been approved, which means that it has not yet turned into cash.

"I'm very happy with the 'Top of the Daylight', can you reserve this apartment for me?" Li Jie asked.

"Of course, Mr. Li can sign a pre-purchase agreement first, and then make a transaction after your payment is in place." The agent, Gallup Cook, gave a respectful smile just right, and he was in the right position to be able to consider buying such a mansion, no matter what his status was, and he was in the right position.

"Mr. Evelyn, I hope you can make sure that the apartment is not sold to anyone else, and I think I will go through the transaction soon." Li Jie made a request to Archibald, who immediately nodded in agreement, he had already made up his mind to be optimistic about Li Jie, and naturally he wanted to do his best to please him.

Li Jie left 432 Park Avenue with a somewhat unbelievable Lisa, a beautiful girl who still didn't quite believe it was true, and the luxury apartment worth nearly $180 million was decided in a few words.
