Wall Street Legend

Chapter 161 Friends? (14)

What is impulse spending? This is.

However, this small island not far from Manhattan is quite beautiful. It has been cared for and maintained by people for hundreds of years. Some trees are as old as a hundred years. There are flat grasses everywhere. Most of the time, the holly leaves are green. I live in Manhattan, so I think this kind of place with a place to keep horses, play golf and tennis is great, suitable for living or hosting parties.

He requisitioned the golf cart, and a bodyguard drove it to take Ye Dongqing and several people from the architectural design office around. He kept two Akhal Tekin horses and an American thoroughbred horse, plus four The stables of the Oldenburg horses are about to be demolished. It looks a bit dilapidated. The horses will temporarily live elsewhere. The original owner of the island was an old woman. She decided to return to her hometown of Ireland to rest in her old age. I don’t have the energy to continue taking care of them.

They are all very good horse breeds. Unfortunately, including the high-priced purebred horses, a total of three horses are already old, and those that can be resold have been sold. Ye Dongqing did not get much bargain, and plans to keep them as ornamental animals. I'll wait until I find a suitable one and add a few more strong horses, and occasionally ride them out for a walk.

In the woods not far from the stables, there is a small herd of Montebelia cattle, more than ten in total. According to the old housekeeper who has not yet been arranged and is worried that he is about to lose his job, there is no need to worry about running out of fresh milk almost all year round. You can drink them, and there is a couple on the island who are responsible for raising them.

In addition to these big guys who are both meat and milk, there are also a few white-tailed deer and elk living in the forest. They were afraid that they would attack people, so they were surrounded by a fence. It is said that there have been cases where someone hit one of them with a car and almost died. .

Not counting the water area, the island has a total area of ​​48 acres, which translates to about 200,000 square meters. In addition to the villas with an area of ​​more than 2,500 square meters, there are several other houses scattered throughout. To be honest, the price is not bad. Yes, housing prices in neighboring Changdao are not cheap.

With some plans in mind, Ye Dongqing returned to the house and wrote and drew on the map. The designers standing beside him took pens to record in their notebooks, such as cutting down about twenty acres of tangled woods. Everything was paved with green grass, some beautiful American red maples were planted, and three old houses were demolished, etc.

Considering that the housekeepers and nannies would also live here for a long time in the future, two buildings were eventually demolished, and the remaining ones were renovated together with the main building, and the rest were used to entertain guests on a daily basis.

The apron and pier must be re-paved, and the swimming pool must be renovated. Stables, cattle pens, etc. have already been mentioned, so there is no need to mention them again. He allows the designers to use their own creativity to make the island better, and the whole thing needs to be improved. After re-planning, it is estimated that it will take another half a year before he can actually live there. There is no need to worry about the cost. He is sure to make more money in the second half of the year.

Due to being targeted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, he has recently paid a sum of taxes honestly. The more he earns, the more he pays, totaling more than 30 million US dollars. He can still get a part of the tax refund, but it still makes him feel distressed. mad.

Guys who used to specialize in money laundering have now learned how to pay taxes legally. They have been exposed by the media and are unable to do the accounting...

***********

Laura was still in London, taking time off to work while studying. She couldn't accept the house Ye Dongqing gave her with peace of mind, so she didn't go through the final handover procedures until today.

It's true that she didn't take it, but she was able to live in it. She called it "helping Ye Dongqing manage the house". She was using this unreliable reason to comfort herself, so as not to waste money on renting another place. To talk about how thick-skinned, Having lived with a mother with a bad personality for so long since I was a child, I have already been polished by the word "poverty" and my face is thick enough, so I can save money when I can.

Thinking about it carefully, she also wanted to save money last time, so she believed Ye Dongqing's lies and went to live together on Wall Street. In the end, her innocence was somehow involved. It's hard to say who suffered the loss. Anyway, Ye Dongqing never felt that she had suffered a loss.

Some time had passed since she moved in. After Laura settled the driver's license issue, she bought herself a second-hand Toyota car. Considering the high rent of this building, it naturally became the most worn-out car in the garage.

Recently, she met a new friend named Renee, who lived next door to her. She once came to borrow scissors, and they got to know each other as soon as they went back and forth. The two were of the same age. At this moment, Renee was standing next to a broken Toyota that was about to be scrapped. He said curiously: "I have always suspected that you changed the locks and occupied the empty house. How can someone who buys a car like this afford your apartment? I have been there once before. The decoration is more luxurious than mine, but my house is in Greece. Having a villa with a swimming pool and being able to watch the Aegean Sea swim is such a joy!”

Being hit one after another, Laura could only roll her eyes in response. She didn't know why she could play with Renee, who had a completely different personality. The other party was completely a rich girl. What she thought about every day was either handsome boys, bags, clothes, etc. Do you want breast augmentation, cosmetics, etc. What's even more annoying is that you still go to Imperial College and drive a Porsche 911 to and from school every day.

It was said that her family had an oil mine on the other side of the Red Sea. After thinking about this, Laura couldn't figure out why she wanted to play with her. She was completely seeking abuse and said, "Just think of it as me sneaking in." Well, I wish I had other friends in London, I am so pissed off by you!"

Renee’s concern was not whether Laura was angry or not, nor did she care about the tone of her words. Instead, she smiled brightly: “Thank you, I also treat you as a friend. If the owner of the house comes over, remember to jump from the window sill to my house. I will tell the police that you are my friend."

After speaking, he patted Laura on the shoulder. What could he say? Laura couldn’t deal with her anymore and said angrily: “Thank you for thinking that I can jump seven or eight meters away. That’s the apartment my friend just bought. I’m just staying in it temporarily. Over there."

"friend?"

Renee's eyes instantly lit up and she said seriously: "He must be a rich and handsome guy. After I introduced my cousin to you, you didn't even call him. Damn it, I should have thought that you had a boyfriend at that time! Otherwise, who would reject a handsome baron? Tell me quickly, how handsome he is?"

"He's Chinese, okay? He goes to the same middle school as me."

"Chinese... I also dated a Chinese before, but can you believe they ate chili peppers as rice? I will never forget that night. I had diarrhea that took four days to recover after I came back. It was just one bite. I just ate one bite!" "

Renee felt that saying this didn't seem like a good friend, and it would also embarrass herself, so she quickly changed the subject: "Does that mean he bought you an apartment? It's okay if you have money. You should ask him to help you change a car next time you have a chance. , this car smells like feet. I will definitely fill up the tank every time I pass by a gas station next time. From now on, I will always take my car when I go out. Remember not to park directly in front of the mall, but go to the gas station a few blocks away. alley, and we walk over there.”

Laura took a deep breath and began to roll her eyes again. If she hadn't known that the other party was not bad in nature but was just a bit mean-mouthed, she would have been unable to help but curse at this moment, and she would have become increasingly suspicious of why she wanted to be friends with Renee...
