Chapter 275: Different Paths
Li Yun They couldn't imagine how much it would cost to buy a "mansion" like this.
"Probably less than a million dollars." Chen Weidong calculated in his heart and quickly came up with a figure.
During this period, the housing prices in Manhattan were not particularly outrageous, only about $3,000 per square meter, which was not very expensive in the eyes of the rich.
It's not even as good as Hong Kong Central.
Of course, this is only relative.
At the beginning of the century, the average monthly salary of a native American was about $2,000-3,000, and theoretically a month's salary could buy a square meter in Manhattan.
But in fact, the people of the United States are not obsessed with houses, and few people are willing to spend a lot of income to buy a house with a high price.
As for taking out a loan for 30 years for a house, it is even more unacceptable in their opinion.
In the United States, many people choose to rent a house, and it makes no difference.
"Damn, that's too expensive! Where did you get so much money? Xiang Shaohua heard this number, converted the exchange rate, immediately took a breath of cold air, and looked at Qiao Zhiyong next to him through gritted teeth.
According to the current exchange rate, this is close to tens of millions of RMB, and the average salary of the domestic people is only more than 1,000 yuan, even if they don't eat or drink for a hundred years, they can't afford it.
Can a mere director of the development office afford such a large villa in the United States?
It's appalling.
"Oh, Xiang Officer, don't say that, I really didn't take much, and besides, I haven't already admitted my mistake to the organization." The chubby middle-aged man took a few steps back in fright and quickly explained.
"Okay, okay, everyone's tired, let's find a room to rest first."
Chen Weidong saw that Xiang Shaohua was grasping this issue and wanted to investigate deeply, so he immediately waved his hand and interrupted their argument.
He is a human being, and he has long been surprised by this kind of thing, only Li Yun and the others are still indignant on their faces.
Qiao Zhiyong glanced at Chen Weidong gratefully, and then arranged rooms for all of them.
The interior of this villa is very large, and there are as many as nine bedrooms, all kinds of daily necessities are prepared, high-end appliances, and furniture, which can be described as luxurious.
For the sake of safety, Chen Weidong and Chen Jie lived in the second-floor attic of the villa, while Li Yun and Qiao Zhiyong lived in the room on the first floor.
They were new to the city and were wary of the unfamiliar environment.
After two days, everyone gradually adapted to the water and water and time difference in the northern hemisphere, and the temperate continental climate made the human body feel very comfortable, without the heat and humidity.
They checked the recent weather forecast, and the next half month was a fine day with a sunny day.
Some people may think that Chen Weidong went to the United States to acquire some instrument companies.
That's definitely not it, he won't do such a laborious thing, this kind of thing is enough to be done by his subordinates.
"Ah Wei, what should we do next?"
The six of them sat on the couch and discussed what to do next.
Chen Jie poured himself a cup of American coffee, took a sip and shook his head, feeling too bland.
"Mr. Chen, if you need any help, just tell me, don't be polite, I've been here for several years, and I have some connections in all aspects." Qiao Zhiyong also immediately patted his chest and said on the side.
Although I don't know what Chen Weidong and the others are going to do when they come to the United States, this does not prevent him from eagerly welcoming them.
After all, Infinity Inc. also has a high reputation in the United States.
And the two people in front of him are the world's youngest business tycoons and legends in the financial world, and the opportunity to contact them is not always available.
Even if Li Yun doesn't say it, he will do his best.
"Well, since we are in New York, of course, we have to visit the host here first to see if we can meet the people of the Rockefeller consortium, so that our next plans will be much easier."
Chen Weidong thought for a moment and decided to say hello to them first, so as not to be called impolite when he got it.
"Is that in the name of a company, or a private person?" Chen Jie continued to ask.
If it is in the name of Infinity, although it will definitely be able to meet each other, it will inevitably make a big fanfare.
The reporters in this place in New York are not vegetarians, and they have a fight with the Xiangjiang reporters.
When the time comes, everyone will know that they have come to America, and if they want to do something, they will be noticed.
"Privately, but maybe we can do it another way." A smile flashed across Chen Weidong's face.
Wall Street.
This 540-meter-long narrow street is home to more than 3,000 financial and foreign trade institutions.
The New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange, which are said to make the world cold if you sneeze, are also set up on this crowded street.
Every day, the news and economic fluctuations that come out of here are transmitted to every corner of the world by various consortia, financial institutions, and monopoly organizations through various channels and intricate networks.
They are moving the veins of the world economy all the time.
In this sense, New York's unrivaled economic influence is the most important core of the United States, its economic capital, and the economic center of the world.
At the same time, in the second tower of the World Trade Center, the 105th floor.
An elderly man stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the Rockefeller Center Plaza not far away.
In the late twenties, financier John D. Rockefeller Jr., despite the shadow of the economic crisis that hung over the United States at the time, was determined to realize his long-buried ambition to build a complex in the heart of Manhattan that would make him a classic entertainment center in the world!
After ten years of hard work, he succeeded in realizing his plan.
The 8.9-hectare complex opens up a new dimension of urban design.
The division of the building complex and the configuration of the height make the whole building complex present a perfect style of Phyllis painting.
It cleverly uses halls, squares, stairwells, and road chongs to design as a rest area and consumption area for pedestrians, fully catering to the psychology of the rise of the middle class in the thirties of the United States at that time.
It has become a model work for the general public.
In the center of the complex, there is a small lowland square with a concave.
At the front of the square, there stands a statue of Prometheus in gold, flying, and under the base of the statue is a small fountain pool, shining with sparkling waves.
On top of the square, the open space is fully utilized, and the cleverly conceived green space makes this the heart of New York.
One hundred and fifty-nine flags, representing the various member states of the United Nations, flutter high above this square.
As a result, it is also known as an oasis of peace.
Such a beautiful architectural complex was loved by the majority of New Yorkers as soon as it was completed.
After that, a large number of tourists came here to relax and enjoy, and soon became a landmark of New York City after Wall Street, and even a symbol of wealth in the United States.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the old man stared at the crowd resting and children playing in the square for a long time.
I don't know if I'm reminiscing about the good past or thinking about the long-term future
