Chapter 799: Palm Springs
As the world's largest power, Amilican receives more than 45 million tourists from all over the world every year.
These tourists come from all over the country, and the areas they travel to in Amilican are also basically different.
After all, this country.
There are indeed many places to visit.
Whether you're looking for the hustle and bustle of a big city, a night out in Las Vegas, or a safari in the wild jungle.
Basically all of them can find the right place in this country.
But if to say.
For the rich, where should they go when they come to Amiliken? In other words, the rich people of Amiliken's own country, where do they like to play?
There can be a lot of options.
But Palm Springs, definitely on most people's shortlists.
This is a paradise for the truly rich.
Located in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert, Palm Springs is an oasis city next to the desert, and Gu Xiu and Flynn are flying on Madoff's private jet.
Looking down from the sky, you can see at a glance the oasis in the vast Gobi Desert.
Let's be honest.
It really feels quite shocking.
"You haven't been to Palm Springs, have you?" The two were accompanied by the head of the proprietary trading department at Madoff Securities.
Mark Madoff.
This surname can be seen from the identity of this person, he is not only a core member of the Madoff company, but also the son of the famous Bernard Madoff.
This time, it was this Mr. Mark who personally led Flynn and Gu Xiu to participate in the party.
This can be called a full row, and even when Mark came to the company to pick up the two of them personally, many staff members of Yuanxiu Investment almost dropped their jaws at that time.
At this time, in the face of Mark's inquiry, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads.
Although Gu Xiu had been playing in Amilican for a long time before, it was indeed the first time he had come to Palm Springs, and as for Flynn, although she was an Emily Kenn, even her current status and income were eligible to travel to Palm Springs.
However, she is a person with a huge passion for data finance, and she has never been to this place before.
"I'd love to say it's a shame that you haven't been to Palm Springs before, but I'd also like to say it."
"It's good that you haven't been to Palm Springs."
Mark laughed:
"Because of that, I can work part-time as a tour guide and introduce the two of you to the greatness of Palm Springs."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Mark." Flynn said.
At first, Flynn also felt that the other party's identity was so special that it would be difficult to get along with most of them, but she found out after the real contact.
Mark is actually a very talkative person.
Very interesting gentleman.
With a smile on his face throughout, it makes people feel very comfortable in contact with him.
"A lot of people have the misconception that Palm Springs is a luxury resort in the United States, but it's the name of a region that does have resorts, but more than one."
"The area of Palm Springs was discovered in 1774 during the Western conquest of Upper California, where Western warriors came while exploring their empire, but until the middle of the 19th century, Agua Calie was found in Palm Springs
A paradise for the Cahuilla Indians of the te tribe. ”
"It wasn't until 1853 that Palm Springs was really developed in the first real sense of the word, but at that time, it was basically limited to things like a train station."
"It was in the last century that Palm Springs started to grow as a resort, with more than 10 buildings, a post office and a lot of seasonal visitors."
"But after the start of World War II, Palm Springs became a training ground for General Patton and his rapid tank unit to attack North Africa, and even established many military installations."
"Fortunately, after the end of World War II, Palm Springs quickly regained its former prosperity."
"Especially since 1945, the price of land in Palm Springs has skyrocketed, because in that year, Palm Springs created a nine-hole golf course, and since then, this place has become a favorite vacation destination for the wealthy."
Today, Palm Springs has more than 95 golf courses, 500 tennis courts and 20,000 swimming pools.
"Almost all of the world's best-known five-star hotels, as well as the world's top luxury brand stores, can be found here."
“……”
Mark is really a good tour guide, at least for a good understanding of the place in Palm Springs.
Under his introduction.
For this place, Gu Xiu and Fu Lin also knew something.
Next, after the plane landed, Mark also thoughtfully asked the driver to drive around Palm Springs, introducing them to the surrounding construction areas one by one.
I have to say.
This place is a resort specially built for the wealthy, whether it is street planning or house construction, it can be regarded as unique.
Not to mention the variety of luxury stores on the streets.
Just a casual house is something that many people can't own in their lifetime.
"In the early days, it only took 8,000 meters to get a piece of land in Palm Springs to build your own estate, but now, the latest price has come to 4 billion meters."
"Even, even if you can come up with this money, you can't get such a large piece of land."
"Someone said that if you want to see which is the richest and most prosperous family in Amilican today, then come to Palm Springs to see who is the owner of the house, and the current one is Morgan's, and the one next to it is DuPont's."
"Do you see that row of houses there, it's a second-class house, but it's that row of houses, which are almost the assets of the richest families in the world, but basically no one lives there."
"Of course, it's not without ordinary houses, but even if it's an ordinary house, it should be the most expensive house in the world."
"Because the houses here are limited, but the rich are unlimited, and if you want to buy a property here, you need more than just money."
Speaking of this, Mark smiled:
"Of course, if you two are interested in buying a property here, I can help you and get you a place to stay."
At these words, Fu Lin and Gu Xiu shook their heads almost subconsciously.
"Not interested?" Mark smiled and asked, "Whether it's Bill Gates or the political leaders of Armiliken, they all own real estate here, don't you want to be neighbors with these people?" ”
"Yes, but I don't have any money." Flynn spread her hands.
"Haha, Lady Flynn has such a good sense of humor."
Flynn shook her head, just a wry smile.
She has a good position in Yuanxiu Investment, and Gu Xiu is not a harsh person, and her salary is actually very good.
But......
After all, the working hours are not long enough, at least for now, Flynn will not have the capital to settle here.
Mark smiled and looked at Gu Xiu:
"Children, your family may be interested, you can talk to your parents, if they are interested, I can help you."
This time when he attended the party, Gu Xiu did not expose his identity, at least added a layer of disguise.
He is not the boss of Yuanxiu Investment, but the child of the boss of Yuanxiu Investment.
Less proprietors.
In some ways, that's not lying.
In fact, along the way, Mark asked Gu Xiu a lot about his family without a trace, but he never came to any results.
This is obviously also true at this time.
But alas.
To Mark's disappointment, Gu Xiu just smiled and shook his head:
"Thank you Uncle Mark for your kindness, but our family doesn't plan to buy a house here for the time being, let alone ......"
"I think that the house price in Palm Springs may plummet in two years, so it is better to buy a house now than to buy it again in the future."
As soon as these words came out.
Not only Mark, but even Flynn couldn't help but look at Gu Xiu.
In the eyes.
It's kind of weird......
