America's Road To Wealth Chapter 48

  Chapter 48 Prepare for a rainy day

   Ended with lunch with the two Michaels.

  Abel intends to go to the company.

  Annie needs to prepare for her audition for The Princess Diaries.

   Then they scattered.

  The Maybach 62s were driving in Manhattan at noon, and the streets were congested again. Abel kept looking out the window.

   At this time, the car just passed the middle of two skyscrapers.

  His line of sight passed through the gap between the two buildings.

  I saw behind the building, two square and beautiful high-rise commercial buildings with almost the same appearance.

   This made his expression startled, and then goosebumps rose.

  FXXK!

  Almost forgot about it.

   Isn't that Gemini?

   Are they still there?

  By the way, it's still 2000.

   There is still more than a year to go until September 11 next year.

but

   Plan ahead, it may not be because of your own rebirth.

  Butterfly effect, if Brother Arden makes trouble in advance.

   Isn't that the end of the game?

   Regarding this disaster,

  There are too many inside stories and conspiracy theories.

  However, it will happen with high probability.

  If it doesn't happen on September 11th, it will happen some other time.

so.

  Abel's expression became serious.

  He is considering whether he can stay in Manhattan for the next period of time.

   Don't look at the parallel time and space,

   Unlucky is Gemini.

   But that is likely to be a target randomly selected by brother Arden, who is flying the plane.

   If it was brother Arden, he would not choose Gemini at that time.

   Instead, they chose other buildings, such as the Woolworth Building.

   Then hehe.

   This is not impossible, and the risks in this area must be considered.

therefore

  Before that incident, try to stay in Manhattan as little as possible.

  Thinking like this, he didn't even want to go to the company.

   After thinking for a while, he picked up his cell phone and called Jones.

   Not Catherine Jones, the glamorous stewardess.

  Speaking of which, this glamorous flight attendant hasn't come to find her yet.

  The Jones he was looking for was Jones from the American Express Company.

  David Jones, Head of Advanced Customer Service, New York, American Express.

  After the call was made, it was answered almost instantly.

   "Hi, Dear Mr. Smith. Greetings from your Personal Services Manager, David."

  The tone is neither humble nor overbearing, and the content of the speech is also normal.

   But it sounds like a spring breeze, and it is worthy of being a service industry person who serves the highest-level guests.

   "Hi, David."

  Abel smiled and said, "Two things."

   "Please tell me." On the other side of the phone, David Jones cheered up.

  He is not afraid that the rich will ask them to do too many things, or things will be troublesome.

  The more things you have to do, the more troublesome and difficult it is to do.

   It also means that the higher the fee, the higher the income of American Express.

  The commission of these service personnel can also be increased in the same way.

   These people, I'm afraid the rich will find them if they have nothing to do.

   Or don't want to find them.

   That's their real trouble.

   "First thing, help me find an office space."

   "The requirement is that it cannot be on Manhattan Island, but it must be as close to Manhattan as possible."

  He is thinking about relocating the company.

   Although it is good to work in the Woolworth Building, the main reason is that it is on Wall Street.

   But considering the disaster next year, the Woolworth Building is also a bit old.

  He had long thought about relocating the company. He wanted to move to a newer building before.

   Now simply move away from Wall Street.

  Wall Street itself is already a code name.

  Not all financial capitals work there.

  After next year, a large number of companies will choose to move away from Wall Street.

   After 2010, Wall Street in terms of geography is almost an empty shell.

   After the first request, he started to say the second request.

   "Second thing, help me find a few villas, the kind of manor. It doesn't have to be too close to Manhattan, but it's not too far away."

  This matter was discovered by him suddenly.

  My own real estate seems to be in Manhattan.

   Not to mention the two golden houses used to hide the beauty.

   There are several other preparatory or investment properties, a total of five properties, all in Manhattan.

  Before staying in Manhattan for a long time, he has no real estate elsewhere.

  This is incredible for an American billionaire.

   It can only be said that his rise time is still short, and his background in this respect is insufficient.

   Considering the past two years, the whole of Manhattan may be at risk.

  Then live a little farther away, or you can just buy a few more real estate for storage.

  David Jones on the opposite side paused for more than three seconds after Abel finished speaking.

  David responded: "No problem, when will you have time to see it?"

   "It's available now."

   "Okay. It will be ready for you in an hour at the latest. Are you free?"

"have."

   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 beachfront estate in Kings Point, New York.

  As soon as the plane came to a complete stop, David Jones got off first.

  After getting down, he bent slightly and reached out to pick up Abel.

  Abel easily jumped off, out of the scope of the propeller of the plane, and looked at the huge garden in front of him.

  Outside the garden is the beach and the blue sea under the sun.

  On the opposite side of the sea is the United Nations Building, which is looming but can be seen in outline.

  Meeting his gaze, the senior service manager of American Express smiled and said:

   "That's the United Nations Building. This manor has a total area of ​​8.2 acres, with a total of 18 bedrooms and 22 bathrooms."

  In the United States, when introducing real estate, they usually say how many bedrooms and how many bathrooms.

  And the more high-end houses in the United States, the more bathrooms.

  In luxury houses, there are often more bathrooms than bedrooms.

  This is different from domestic ones, mainly because Ugly people like to hold parties from top to bottom.

  When there is a party, there are usually a lot of people.

  There are too many people, but there are not enough bathrooms.

  In addition, American real estate also divides bathrooms very clearly, and there will be 1.5 bathrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms.

  The reason for this is that the American standard bathroom refers to a bathroom + toilet that can go to the toilet and wash up, and it is considered a bathroom.

  The bathroom that can only go to the toilet can only be counted as half.

  So there is a description of 1.5 guards.

  A house with 18 bedrooms and 22 bathrooms can already be regarded as a manor house.

  Abel nodded: "Show me."

  David Jones took him respectfully and walked towards the manor.

  Lin and Johnson walked ahead and have already taken the initiative to explore the way inside.

   These two bodyguards should check in advance whether there is any risk ahead.

  Edward and Lincoln followed Abel directly.

   David Jones is not surprised by this scene.

   There are more bodyguards, and he has also seen a more cautious rich man.

  In the United States, rich people are afraid of death.

  Those who are not afraid of death are often really dead.
