American Fame and Fortune Chapter 226

Chapter 226 The first house in life

  June in Los Angeles is the hot season of the year, and drinks including two types of cola are also entering their peak sales season.

 CocCola put old wine in new bottles, and CocCola with the image of CocCola's leader Martin was put on the market in large quantities.

  The concept of CocCola has attracted the attention of a large number of young people.

 In half a month, the news that Martin, the leader, will go to Washington to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom has also been widely publicized with the promotion of CocCola.

 The hot momentum has continued into CocCola sales.

 From supermarkets to convenience stores to street advertisements, posters and advertisements dressed up by Martin can be seen everywhere.

Red is fiery, blue is unwilling to be lonely.

Pepsi-Cola has launched two ads, one for sports and one for entertainment. All the stars in the ads have their hair dyed the iconic blue.

 Then, he was sprayed all over in newspapers and on the Internet.

 “Look at Martin's high-end style, and then look at Pepsi's weird photos, let's judge!”

“I don't expect Pepsi to come up with such a high-end concept as CocCola, but isn't this sand sculpture too weak?”

“CocCola used only Martin Davis to defeat a host of entertainment and sports stars, including Britney and Beckham.”

Many die-hard Pepsi supporters jumped out to fight back.

 “Red and blue are irreconcilable!”

 “Drag the red drinker out for ten minutes to shoot the target!”

　　Red and Blue are noisy on the Internet, but Martin has always maintained enough topicality.

 Just like the market share of the two colas, red supporters have an overwhelming advantage, which is enough to ensure Martin's positive influence.

In the office of Pacific Pictures, Thomas rubbed his face vigorously and looked up from the computer.

With dark circles under her eyes, Jessica said: "The two sides of us are quarreling online, and CocCola is also pushing for it, and it won't stop in a short time."

Emily stretched herself: "I have been working for more than ten hours these days. I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore. I have to go back and get some beauty sleep."

Thomas has not been idle since his return from Atlanta. While looking for new job opportunities for Martin, he is also cooperating with CocCola's publicity and promotion, and has been working hard for many days.

While the three of them were working overtime one after another and carrying heavy loads, the car driven by Bruce left North Hollywood and entered Sherman Oaks.

“Actually, the house in Malibu is pretty good. It's on a hill, has a good view, and it's not expensive.” Antonio, who sat in the back seat with his belly puffed out, said, “You can definitely get it for $2.6 million.”

Martin shook his head: "There is only one road in that place. Once there is a fire on the mountain, there is nowhere to run."

Antonio was surprised by Martin's brain circuit: “There hasn't been a wildfire in Malibu for many years.”

 Martin still had a vague impression that in the gossip he had read, Malibu was always associated with celebrities and wildfires.

If you just bought a house and set it on fire, it would be great fun.

Charbroiled martins and blues?

 It's exciting just thinking about it.

Bruce drove to Coty Road, where a new community in Sherman Oaks is located. The houses in the community are located at the foot of the mountain. They are all independent villas with courtyards and an area of ​​about 500 to 800 square meters. They were all built in the past 3 years. Within the year.

Following Antonio's instructions, the car stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.

The closed iron door was open, and tall palm trees were planted on both sides of the door. Martin visually inspected it and found that the area surrounded by the wall was about 25X30.

 Antonio made a phone call and pointed to the inside of the door.

 Bruce drove the car directly in.

The front yard is a green lawn and a long swimming pool. The villa is in the shape of white walls and red tiles common in Los Angeles, and is in an inverted L shape.

Garrison, the real estate agent who had made an appointment, was standing on the steps in front of the house.

The car stopped, Martin got out of the car, glanced at Antonio who was struggling to move his body, and helped him get down.

 Antonio sighed: "I'm old, and my legs and feet are no longer useful."

“You're not old, you're fat.” Martin tapped his belly, which was bigger than the ten-month pregnancy: “Lose weight.”

Antonio shook his head: "It's too painful. I'd rather stay in bed from now on."

Garrison quickly came over to shake hands with Martin: "Mr. Davis, it is my honor to serve you."

"You're welcome." Martin looked around. The wall was enough to block the outside view. There was a garage on the side of the inverted L-shaped auxiliary building, and a barbecue pit was set up next to it, which could be used for outdoor self-service barbecues. It was very convenient for parties.

Garrison was very discerning and immediately took the lead in that direction: "Should we start from this side?"

 Martin followed.

Bruce looked at Antonio's trembling belly, worried that he would lose his center of gravity and fall over, so he walked side by side with him.

 Antonio told Martin before he came that this was a brand new house that had been renovated.

 At this time, he will not say any more so as not to affect Martin's judgment.

The garage of the auxiliary building can easily accommodate three cars. Entering the building through the inner door is a small living room, and there are several bedrooms on the second floor. There is a passage directly leading to the master bedroom and the main building.

 Bruce walked back and forth deliberately and was quite satisfied.

No matter what, the Russians are potential dangers. He has to live in Martin's house for a long time. He can live in the annex building and rush there as soon as possible if something happens. Bruce thought with his toes and knew that Martin, a bad guy, would definitely mess around, and his presence here would not affect Martin's behavior.

The group moved from the second floor to the main building. There are two sets of bedrooms on the second floor. The master bedroom is large enough and has an extrlarge balcony. It is not a problem for more than ten people to have fun together in the master bedroom.

 As for the first floor, it is the conventional living room, study room, dining room and entertainment room.

 What Martin is most pleased with is the entertainment room with a small four-seat screening room.

 The main building also has a basement, which is divided into three parts: a small wine cellar, a storage room and a fitness room.

Like most luxury homes for sale, it comes with decoration and matching furniture.

 Martin saw the house in person, returned to the living room, and asked directly: "How much is the price?"

Garrison quoted directly: "With full furnishings and appliances, $2.45 million."

Martin has specifically learned about housing prices, and the price is not bad. Sherman Oaks is a wealthy area as famous as Beverly and Brentwood. The location of the Coty community is in the middle of Sherman Oaks, but its location is not on the most expensive mountainside or on the hill.

Of course, he was targeting Louise's property, not MJ's Neverland Ranch or Pitt and Aniston's $40 million mansion.

 Martin still has a few places to see and is not in a hurry to make a decision: "I'll think about it."

 The three of them got in the car, left the Coti community, and headed up the mountainside.

 Martin asked: "Old Bu, what do you think?"

“It's not bad. The wall is high enough to block prying eyes from outside.” Bruce first considered safety: “It will also help me install some early warning facilities.”

He thought for a moment and then said: "I live in the auxiliary building. You can have an independent space. If something happens, I can support you as soon as possible."

Antonio heard it and asked curiously: "Is there any sequelae at Burbank Middle School?"

 Martin tilted his head.

Antonio said: "You hire me as a security guard. I and the Gun of Friendship will guard the door for you. I will knock down every one of those bastards. Don't doubt my marksmanship."

 Martin had seen Antonio's marksmanship and said: "I don't doubt your marksmanship. I'm worried that you will die with others after shooting. I can't afford to pay for the life of a veteran millionaire."

Bruce was surprised and asked Antonio: "Don't you like to enjoy it? How hard it is to be a gatekeeper."

“Everyone has a dream of being a hero, and I want to be a hero too.” Antonio patted his round belly as if a basketball was rolling: “Do you know why my marksmanship is so good? I trained it because I want to be a hero!”

Bruce said: "The Russians are very cruel."

Antonio is very interested in this topic: "You may not know how afraid my generation is of the Russians. They have a psychological curse. I want to break this curse."

Martin glanced at Antonio's belly: "You should settle down and settle into a promising career as a landlord."

 The car quickly arrived at the second house, and the three of them looked around and quickly came out.

The house is very beautiful, with more complete and advanced equipment. The problem is that it occupies an area of ​​nearly 1,200 square meters and the price is as high as 4 million US dollars, which is too expensive.

 Martin then looked at the third and fourth houses, two seaside villas.

 The sea view room is okay for a short vacation, but it will be troublesome to stay for a long time. The most important thing is that the price is not cheap.

The three of them came to Binhai Road, found an open-air cold drink shop, and sat under the sun to drink cold drinks.

Antonio kept wiping his sweat: “There are two more places in Brentwood, but the price is more expensive, more than 4.5 million US dollars.”

 Martin waved his hand: "There's no need to read it."

Antonio added: "The boss of the real estate company I have seen in these places has some friendship with me. I can help you negotiate a lower price."

Bruce put down the iced Coke and looked at Martin: "Look again? Or choose?"

Martin said simply: "Just the one in the Coty community."

Antonio remembered something: "I know the chairman of the Coti Community Committee, and I will introduce him to you later."

 Martin was curious: “I didn't expect you have many connections.”

 Antonio drank up the cold drink in one gulp: "I am a veteran millionaire."

 Bruce envied: “One day when I get old, I will also buy an apartment building and rent it out.”

It seems that being a landlord is a good job. Martin couldn't help but think of the landlords in his previous life, who were typical examples of achieving both wealth and wealth. There were countless beautiful ladies who dreamed of becoming stars, but they ended up thousands of miles away from Jiangling or thousands of miles away because they owed rent.

On the way back to North Hollywood, the three of them called Antonio. After chatting for at least half a minute, the house in the Coty community went from US$2.45 million to US$2.35 million.

 Martin said to the fat landlord: "I will give you a big gift later."

Antonio seemed to be reminding: "I have a crocodile tooth pendant and a horn carving."

“Really?” There were so many sent out that Martin couldn't even remember them clearly. He had known that he should have made a detailed list. It would have been so embarrassing to give away so much weight.

Bruce couldn't help but laugh.

Antonio said: "You don't need to give me a gift. Who doesn't know that you live in my North Hollywood apartment? It's hard to find an apartment now, the rent has nearly doubled from last year, and many young actors want to repeat your success."

His voice suddenly changed: "If nothing else, I have introduced clients to Dr. Hyena in the past six months, and I have received a large sum of money in referral fees!"

 Martin couldn't help but shake his head: "There are so many special brews of **** stirrers."

The house prices are based on the Los Angeles properties purchased by many celebrities from 2002 to 2006. It should not be outrageous.
