American Fortune Life
Chapter 930: Flower of Leith and quality requirements
"Well, it's not going to be a long time apart, or you'll go back to Los Angeles with me directly."
Andy laughed softly, soothing Ivana in her arms, and patted her back.
"Forget it, I still have something to do here, and I still have to make the Giants championship ring. I don't want to make any mistakes. The New York media will not let me go."
Ivana Qiao's face was full of perseverance, beating red chun, raising her hands around Andy's neck and talking until Andy bowed her head and kissed her again.
After the two were tired and kissed on the private apron for a while, Ivana reluctantly watched Andy walk up the ladder.
"Get ready for the dress, we'll see you on the 10th, sigh--" Andy stood on the ladder and waved at Ivana with a smile, waved a hand, and then flew to board the plane.
Ivana watched Andy's back disappear into the cabin door, the suspension car separated, and watched the plane slowly turn around. She took out a pair of large sunglasses and turned to the car. She bent over and sat in the car. The bodyguards closed the doors and the car drove off the tarmac.
On the plane, Andy was holding coffee and looking out the window, and his assistant was reading the financial and financial briefing of his assistant. There was not much good news. Even the price of gold delivered in April fell to $ 905 per ounce, let alone Speaking of the stock market, in addition to the three consecutive declines in US stocks, global stock markets are mourning in a fall.
The finance ministers and central bank governors of the seven western countries gathered in the pedestal countries to discuss the impact of the US subprime mortgage crisis. Facing the global financial turmoil, to be honest, even now, they still do not want to admit that this is a world-wide event. The financial crisis is over.
The good news is that the Rockets have won five games in a row. After McGrady was sick and could not play, the Rockets played a high level. This made many fans start to question McGrady's role in the Rockets. Houston fans did not know that, This summer, their superstar will be kicked out of the Rockets by Andy. As for how to trade, the Rockets management is almost scratching their heads.
At present, there are few shooting guards in the league that can compare with McGrady, and those people are their respective star players, and they cannot be exchanged for them, but McGrady must throw them out. He is already insured. Grenades can be blown at any time. It is better to blow others than to blow themselves.
By the time the plane landed at the Los Angeles International Airport, it was already evening, and the sunset was reddening the sky.
The convoy of the group drove towards Andy's villa quickly. To be honest, the villa that is now living is a bit small, and it really needs to be replaced by a larger manor house, but now the real Beverly Hills There are few existing houses that can be seen, and most of the good homes also live in those big Hollywood stars.
This time Ivana came over, he just took Ivana together to see a real estate, which is Beverly Hills' famous mansion known as the Flower of Lisse.
The "Flower of Leith" is 50,000 square feet (approximately 4,645 square meters). The previous owner was Susan Sapperstein. She and her current husband, Texas rich man David Sapperstein, asked someone to customize the villa in 2002.
But what's dumb is that Susan and her husband divorced three years after the completion of the villa. She sold the villa last year at a price of 125 million yuan in 2007, just as the global economy was down. Naturally no one would spend that much money to buy it. Andy had seen the brochure of this mansion, and was very happy. After all, there is the Little Versailles Palace. Reputation, beautiful luxury is not much to say.
However, since Andy knows how the global economy will decline in the future, real estate prices will fall to the abyss, even if the price of luxury homes on Beverly Hills is not affected, but in this economic environment, the counteroffer is very easy. It is millions of dollars, which is not a small sum. Of course, Andy will not be foolish and will take the mansion now.
Of this big house, Andy will naturally ask Ivana's opinions, but she should like it. In addition to the standard equipments such as a large number of bedrooms, bathrooms, swimming pools, theaters, etc., the magnificent dance hall is decorated with mirrors. The arches are inspired by the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles. There are also luxurious chandeliers and ceiling paintings.
Ivana, who has a family tradition, has no immunity to the tyrant gold and the luxury of European-style courts. This is not the meaning of Andy's sarcasm. To be honest, I really want to say that this decorative style will not Being eliminated by time can also satisfy the aesthetic time of most people.
Back in the small villa of several hundred square meters, Andy became calm and extremely relaxed. I wonder if it was in his heart. Once he returned here, he would feel more comfortable.
For Andy's return, the happiest of them is Quickin and Witch, who are already big dubins, and of course, his housekeeper Liu Yan.
Liu Yan, wearing an apron, had a tangled expression after returning from Andy, and Yu's unstoppable look fell into Andy's eyes and became a little strange.
The dinner was more abundant than usual Sichuan food, which surprised Andy a little. After Liu Yan arranged the food this time, she finally apologized and told the truth to Andy.
It turned out that Liu Yan's daughter was pregnant again last year. Seeing that the child was about to be born, she had to go back to take care of her daughter and have a child, and wait for confinement to take care of the child.
"... I understand, Aunt Liu, I respect you for a glass, thank you for your care and care over the past year, and sincerely thank you." Andy poured a glass of ice wine for Liu Yan, who was a little red under the eyes, A little sad, but still said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I also want to thank you for your favorite dishes. I have taught Tori back and forth. Although she still knows nothing about the heat, she can just practice more. ... "
Liu Yan turned on the parting mode, and all kinds of orders dilute some sadness.
After dinner, Andy personally helped Liu Yan put the luggage in the car. After a big hug, Liu Yan sent tears to the car and watched the car drive away from the villa door. Andy stood silent in the yard for a long time.
In fact, he also knows that Liu Yan will leave sooner or later. Although his salary is not low, Liu Yan, who is a bit of a family member and has a good child economy, will definitely not stay long after applying American life. After all, not for survival, no one likes to wait for others.
What's more, if Andy would not continue to hire Liu Yan once she moved into a larger house, she would not be suitable for Andy's next living environment, and a more professional and professional housekeeper and servant would be The main choice.
To be honest, there is only one Liu Yan who works as a chef, and the life of a housekeeper is a bit weird. Even in a New York home, there are five maids working in cooperation, which is very rare.
For ordinary billionaires, which is not served by at least twenty servants, Ivana not only reminded Andy once or twice, but Andy didn't care.
"Uh ~ uh ~"
Andy looked down at Kuaiyin and the witch who were squatting beside him, raising their heads and humming at him, and couldn't help laughing: "I know there are two of you guys staying with me! Come on, take you there eat delicious food."
"Wang ---"
On the sofa in the living room, Andy leaned cross-legged and watched the TV. Kuaiyin and the witch pressed their chins to Andy's legs, with their eyes half closed, comfortably enjoying the master's caress.
Suddenly, Quickyin and the witch raised their heads, their eyes became brighter, as if something was heard, Andy was curious to see the bright lights flashing outside the house, and watched the time, it was 8:30 p.m. Now, only Carl can come in at this time.
Put on slippers, put the pajamas on your body, and said to the two dogs, "Let's go and see."
Kuaiyin and the witch jumped off the sofa extremely flexibly, and rushed to the door. Andy opened the door, and the two dogs sprinted and got out. Then they heard a few barks and Carl's unpleasant scolding, "Sneaky, don't bark!"
Andy walked to the garage with some curiosity and saw a black Chevrolet suv being driven into the garage. Carl was turning back and punching at two dogs, while his two bodyguards were pressing the garage switch and closing the garage door.
"I said, what are you doing sneaky at night? Have you stuck a car in my garage?"
Carl saw Andy coming over, with an excited smile on his face, and stretched out his hand directly to Andy and walked to the side door. "We went back to the house and said, what you want ..."
