Chapter 49: Preparing for a rainy day
End of lunch with two Michaels.
Abel was going to go to the company.
Anne needs to prepare for auditions for The Princess Diaries.
And they dispersed.
The Maybach 62s drove in Manhattan at noon, and the streets began to be congested again, and Abel's eyes kept looking out the window.
At this time, the car just drove through the middle of two skyscrapers.
His gaze passed through the gap between the two buildings.
I saw the back of the building, two high-rise commercial buildings with almost the same appearance, square and beautiful.
This made him look stunned, and goosebumps rose.
FXXK!
I almost forgot about it.
Isn't that a twin?
Are they still there?
By the way, it's still the year 2000.
There is still more than a year to go until September 11 next year.
But....
Plan ahead, not because of your own rebirth.
The butterfly effect, if Ardengo makes trouble in advance.
Wouldn't that be the end of it?
About this disaster,
There are too many insider and conspiracy theories.
However, there is a high probability that it will happen.
Even if it doesn't happen on September 11, it will happen at other times.
So....
Abel's expression became serious.
He was wondering if he would be able to stay in Manhattan for the next period of time.
Don't look at parallel time and space,
The unlucky ones are the twins.
But that was most likely the little brother of Ardengo who flew the plane, a target chosen at random.
If it is the younger brother of Ardengo, he will not choose the twins at that time.
Instead, I chose some other building, such as the Woolworths Building.
That's it.
This is not impossible, and the risks must be considered.
Therefore....
Before that incident, Manhattan had tried to stay as little as possible.
Thinking like this, he didn't even think about going to the company.
After thinking about it, he picked up his phone and dialed Jones's number.
Not Catherine Jones' glamorous flight attendant.
Speaking of which, this glamorous flight attendant hasn't come to her yet.
The Jones he was looking for was Jones of Amex.
David Jones, Senior Customer Service, New York, Inc.
After the call was dialed, it was answered almost instantly.
"Hello, Dear Mr. Smith. Your personal service manager, David, greetings. ”
The tone is neither humble nor arrogant, and the content of the speech is also normal.
But it sounds like a spring breeze, worthy of the service industry for the most senior guests.
"Hello, David."
Abel smiled and said, "Two things. ”
"Speak, please." On the other end of the phone, David Jones perked up.
He is not afraid that the rich will ask them to do too much, or that things will be troublesome.
The more things you do, the more troublesome things become, the harder it is to do.
This means that the higher the cost, the higher the revenue of the company.
The commission of these service personnel can also be increased in the same way.
These people are just afraid that the rich will have nothing to do with them.
Or don't want to look for them.
That's their real problem.
"First things first, help me find an office space."
"The requirement is that you can't be on Manhattan Island, but you have to be as close to Manhattan as possible."
This is when he is considering relocating the company.
Working in Woolworths House, while good, is mostly on Wall Street itself.
But first, considering next year's disaster, and secondly, Woolworth Building is also a bit old.
He had long thought about moving the company, and he had wanted to move to a new building.
Now simply move away from Wall Street.
Wall Street itself, is already a code name.
Not all financial capital is based there.
After next year, a large number of companies will choose to move away from Wall Street.
After 2010, Wall Street, the concept of geography, was almost an empty shell.
After saying the first request, he began to say the second one.
"The second thing, help me find a few villas, the kind that have to be manors. It doesn't have to be too close to Manhattan, but it's not too far either. ”
This incident was discovered by him suddenly.
My own real estate seems to be in Manhattan.
Not to mention the two golden houses used to hide Jiaojiao.
There are several other properties that are in preparation or for investment purposes, a total of five properties, all in Manhattan.
He was in Manhattan for a long time, and he didn't have any real estate elsewhere.
This is inconceivable for an American billionaire.
It can only be said that his rise is still short, and this aspect is insufficient.
Considering the last two years, the whole of Manhattan could be at risk.
Then live a little farther away, or you can just buy a few more properties to keep up.
David Jones, on the other side, waited for Able to finish speaking, and paused for more than three seconds.
David responded, "No problem, when do you have time to see it?" ”
"Right now."
"Okay. That will be ready for you in an hour at the latest. Are you available? ”
"Yes."
An hour later, a Bell-427 helicopter took off from Manhattan and headed east.
Crossing Brooklyn and Queens, the helicopter landed on the tarmac of a marina manor villa in New York's Royal Point.
As soon as the plane came to a stop, David Jones got off first.
When he came down, he bent slightly and reached out to pick up Abel.
Able easily jumped down, out of range of the plane's propellers, and looked out at the huge garden in front of him.
Outside the garden, there is a sandy beach and a turquoise sea in the sun.
On the other side of the sea is the looming but visible silhouette of the United Nations Building.
Meeting his gaze, the senior service manager of Yuntong Company smiled and said:
"That's the United Nations building. The total land area of this estate is 8.2 acres, with a total of 18 bedrooms and 22 bathrooms. ”
In the United States, when introducing real estate, it is generally said that there are many bedrooms and many bathrooms.
And in the United States, the more upscale the house, the more toilets.
In mansions, there are often more bathrooms than bedrooms.
This is different from China, mainly because ugly people like to have parties from top to bottom.
When there is a party, there are usually a lot of people.
If there are more people, there will be fewer bathrooms.
And the American real estate is also very clear about the bathroom, and there will be 1.5 bathrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms.
The reason why this is so is because the standard toilet in the United States refers to a bathroom + toilet that can go to the toilet and can be washed, which is considered 1 bathroom.
The toilet that can only go to the toilet can only be counted as half.
That's why the 1.5 guard is described.
The 18-bedroom, 22-bathroom house can already be regarded as a manor villa.
Abel nodded: "Take me to see." ”
David Jones respectfully led him to the manor.
Lin and Johnson walked ahead and had already taken the initiative to explore the way.
These two bodyguards should check in advance whether there is any risk in front of them.
Edward and Lincoln followed Abel directly.
David Jones was not surprised by this scene.
He has also seen more bodyguards and more cautious rich people.
In the United States, rich people are afraid of death.
Those who are not afraid of death are often really dead.
