All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

"Everything here is just as I imagined." Yue Wenxuan exclaimed sincerely.

In this turbulent era, it is indeed a happy thing to have such a peaceful and luxurious haven.

Although Yue Wenxuan was very satisfied with this manor in the suburbs, he still planned to take a look at the luxurious manor on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It would not be too late to make a decision after seeing it.

As the car slowly drove into the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Yue Wenxuan looked through the window and was deeply attracted by the scenery of this area that brought together the most luxurious residential areas in New York and even the United States.

On both sides of the street, the branches and leaves of the plane trees are interwoven into green domes, shading the manor-style mansions of different styles. Every brick and tile reveals the accumulation of years and exotic customs.

Wheeler Hudson obviously knew the area well. As he drove forward, he gave a detailed introduction to the manor he was about to visit:
"Boss, the Upper East Side is a gathering place for the wealthy in New York and even the world. The manors here are not only geographically advantageous, but also designed in a way that combines classic and modern styles. Each one is ingeniously designed."

Soon, the convoy stopped in front of a magnificent manor.

Located in the heart of Manhattan's Upper East Side, the estate covers a vast area and is surrounded by well-manicured lawns and tall wrought iron fences, making it appear both private and solemn.

The main building of the manor adopts a typical European classical style. The off-white exterior wall glows softly in the afterglow of the setting sun. The roof is covered with exquisite red tiles. A towering bell tower stands in the center like a guardian god. Every detail reveals dignity and elegance.

"This manor was once the private residence of a big banker in New York. It had just been renovated, but he went bankrupt before he could move in."

Wheeler Hudson gave a detailed introduction, “There are more than 40 rooms in the manor, including a spacious and bright banquet hall, a luxuriously decorated living room, a study with a rich collection of books, and a well-equipped gym and swimming pool.

What is even more commendable is that there is a large private garden behind the manor, planted with rare flowers from all over the world, which is evergreen all year round and beautiful. "

Yue Wenxuan gently pushed open the door of the manor, and a faint scent of pine wood wafted into his nose.

He walked slowly along the marble-paved corridor, passed through the intricately carved porch, and came to the center of the manor - a spacious banquet hall.

Inside the banquet hall, the crystal chandeliers sparkle and the huge glass windows bring natural light into the room perfectly, which complements the exquisite interior decorations and creates a bright and warm atmosphere.

Wheeler Hudson's introduction was correct. The manor was indeed decorated extremely luxuriously and with great taste. It would not be out of date even after decades.

This manor not only meets all his imaginations of a living environment, but more importantly, it is located in the heart of New York, making it extremely convenient for both business activities and daily life.

Moreover, the privacy and security of the manor also provide him and his family with the necessary protection, allowing him to devote himself to the subsequent career development with greater peace of mind.

"Hudson, you did a great job." Yue Wenxuan turned to Willer Hudson and said, "I am very satisfied with this manor. I will live here from now on. I will leave the rest to you to arrange."

Upon hearing this, Wheeler Hudson showed an irrepressible joy on his face, and he quickly responded, "Yes, Boss, I will arrange for someone to clean and arrange the place as soon as possible to ensure that you and your family can move in as soon as possible."

Having an assistant like Wheeler Hudson does make things a lot more convenient for Yue Wenxuan.

This manor on the Upper East Side has never been occupied and has just been renovated, so it does not require any repairs or reconstruction, but there are still many daily necessities that need to be purchased.

Even though the subsequent workload is not large, the area of ​​this manor is really too large. Even with Yue Wenxuan and his people, it will take at least a few days of hard work before they can officially move in.

But if this matter is handed over to Wheeler Hudson, it will be done very quickly and can be completed in a day or two at most.

By the time Wheeler Hudson escorted Yue Wenxuan back to the villa, it had already darkened.

Seeing Yue Wenxuan leading a few strange white men home, Yue Suzhi and Qu Shumo both showed questioning looks on their faces.

Yue Wenxuan pointed at Wheeler Hudson and took the initiative to introduce him to everyone: "This is Wheeler Hudson, the assistant I just hired, and the others are the guards I hired temporarily.

I have been busy with some business matters recently, so I hired a few locals as guards, which will make it safer. "

Yue Wenxuan did not tell them about his experience in order not to scare them.

After a brief introduction, considering that the villa could not accommodate so many people and there was no advance preparation, Yue Wenxuan sent Wheeler Hudson and others away.

After these people left, Qu Shumo asked with concern: "It seems that you have gained a lot today. You have hired a local assistant and bodyguard. I don't understand business matters, but I still want to remind you to pay attention to safety.

After all, we have just arrived in the United States and have no idea about the situation here. Even if you have any plans, there is no need to rush. It is safer to take it slow."

"Don't worry, I just plan to set up a financial investment company. It won't compete with local companies, so there won't be any danger."

At this point, Yue Wenxuan began to change the subject: "I have good news to tell you. I have been running around all day today. Although the establishment of the company has not been settled yet, it is not without results."

Seeing Yue Wenxuan's happy face, he asked cooperatively: "What did you gain? From your happy expression, I know that the gain must be great."

"I bought a mansion on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and have arranged for my new assistant to buy daily necessities. We should be able to move in in a day or two."

Yue Suzhi didn't expect such a reward. She frowned and said, "We just spent $60,000 to buy this villa. Why are you spending money to buy a house again? There are only a few of us. How can we live here? Isn't this a waste of money?"

"Buying a house is not only for living, but also a good way to invest. According to my prediction, these properties will have great room for appreciation in the future. Although the profit may not be much, it is stable enough."

Yue Wenxuan said this to reassure his sister, but if ordinary people were to invest, this method would indeed be safer.

During World War I, New York experienced rapid economic development, especially unprecedented prosperity in business and real estate.

The prosperity of this period was mainly due to the roaring twenties of the US economy, which was called the "Roaring Twenties".

During this period, New York, as the financial center of the United States, attracted a large number of immigrants and capital inflows, which promoted the rapid development of the real estate market.

The leapfrog development of the steel industry constantly refreshed the Manhattan skyline and further promoted the prosperity of the real estate market. The combined effect of these factors led to a significant increase in housing prices in Manhattan, New York during this period.

In addition, the appreciation of real estate in New York is not only reflected in price increases, but also in urban planning and infrastructure construction.

For example, on January 1898, 1, the entry into force of the City Charter marked the expansion of New York City, including five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, laying the foundation for the city's further development.

Urban expansion and infrastructure improvements, such as the construction of railways and ferries, further promoted population concentration and the active real estate market.

In short, the appreciation of real estate in New York in the 1910s and 1920s was significant. During this period, economic development, population influx, urban planning and infrastructure construction jointly promoted the prosperity of the real estate market. If Yue Wenxuan did not have a better investment direction, investing in real estate would indeed be a good choice.

If it was just to meet the housing needs of several people, Yue Suzhi would find it difficult to understand and accept Yue Wenxuan's behavior of buying another property. But if it was a safe investment, she would have no objection.

"How much did this manor cost? Since it is a manor, it should be very big, right?" Yue Suzhi continued to ask curiously.

“It’s quite large indeed, covering about twenty acres in total.

This manor originally belonged to a big banker in New York, but after the manor was renovated and before he had a chance to move in, he went bankrupt, so he had to sell it at a low price.

The original price was about one million dollars, and I bought it for $600,000.

I think this manor, which is so large and in such a good location, is a very good choice, whether for living or for future appreciation. "

Hearing the huge number that Yue Wenxuan casually said, everyone was shocked.

Whether it is one million US dollars or six hundred thousand US dollars, it is an astronomical figure even for someone like Qu Shumo, let alone others.

"Why is it so expensive? Does our family have so much money?"

Yue Suzhi didn't know that Yue Wenxuan brought a million-dollar bill from China.

She has never cared much about money, and her family never talks about such topics with her.

“Although the total price is high, it is not expensive. After all, it is a manor on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, which is considered a scarce resource. It will definitely become more and more expensive in the future.

As for whether our family has that much money, you don't have to worry about it. Since I can afford it, it means that our family is not short of money."

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's words, Yue Suzhi didn't react much, but Qu Shumo's heart was like a turmoil. Only then did he realize that he had seen Yue Wenxuan's family from head to toe.

Yue Wenxuan was able to buy a manor worth $600,000 without blinking an eye, which shows how rich his family is!

Although Qu Shumo was not sure about his family's total assets, he felt that it was only a few hundred thousand dollars at most and could not exceed one million dollars.

After his father investigated the Yue family's information, he originally thought that the Yue family had fallen into decline, but he didn't expect that his father was wrong.

Looking at the lavish way Yue Wenxuan spends money, it is clear that he has fallen on hard times. He is clearly a man of great potential!

Wheeler Hudson had the support of the entire Dark Night Society, so his work efficiency was naturally extremely high. It only took him one day to tidy up the manor on Manhattan's Upper East Side and purchase all the daily necessities, which were all of the highest quality.

Yue Wenxuan led a group of people into the new manor. Everyone was dazzled and excited.

The moment everyone stepped into the manor, it was as if they had traveled through time and space and arrived in a dream world where classic and modern elements were intertwined.

Yue Wenxuan waved his hand gently, signaling everyone to follow him to explore this manor that would soon become their new home.

The first thing that catches your eye is the carefully tended private garden, with flowers of all colors competing for beauty and fragrance, as if it is nature's most exquisite palette.

Yue Suzhi and Qu Shumo strolled along the flower path, exclaiming in admiration from time to time, praising the beautiful scenery.

"This garden is so beautiful, I love it so much!" Yue Suzhi smiled and was obviously very satisfied with the garden. "Standing here, I feel like I'm back home. This is not only where we live, but also a safe haven where people can relax their souls."

After passing through the garden, the group arrived at the banquet hall.

At this moment, the banquet hall has been decorated warmly and elegantly. The long table is placed with exquisite tableware and flowers. On the central stage, a classical piano is quietly waiting for the host to arrive.

Such a spacious banquet hall is really satisfying!

Imagining the family gatherings and dinners that will be held here in the future, everyone's face is filled with anticipation and happiness.

Afterwards, Yue Wenxuan took everyone to visit the study.

The study room has a rich collection of books, ranging from classical literature to modern economics. It is obvious that Wheeler Hudson has put a lot of thought into assembling so many books in such a short period of time.

In the following days, Yue Wenxuan was busy with the company's preparations, while Yue Suzhi and Qu Shumo gradually adapted to the new living environment.

Yue Wenxuan hired a one-on-one language teacher for the two of them, and believed that they would be able to successfully overcome the language barrier before the fall semester started. While learning the language, the two of them also had to take related courses to ensure that they passed the exams.

Everyone's goal is to get into Columbia University, which might have been a little difficult for everyone, but after Yue Wenxuan got Wheeler Hudson as his assistant, these were just small problems.

Wheeler Hudson obtained particularly important letters of recommendation for the three men, and since the three men had sufficient knowledge, they all successfully achieved their goals.

For Yue Wenxuan, it didn’t matter whether he had a diploma from Columbia University or not, but he needed to give an explanation to his family, so he also chose to continue his studies.

Yue Suzhi was successfully admitted to Columbia University's history major, and she will complete her undergraduate studies at Columbia University in the next few years.

Both Qu Shumo and Yue Wenxuan applied for graduate studies at Columbia University. Qu Shumo applied for the chemistry major, while Yue Wenxuan ultimately chose the philosophy major.

After the three of them were successfully enrolled, it was natural for them to come into contact with international students in China.

Among these overseas students in China, Yue Wenxuan unexpectedly met two celebrities from the early Republic of China, one was Hu Shi and the other was Jin Yuelin.

What is particularly coincidental is that the mentor chosen by Yue Wenxuan is the same person as Hu Shi's mentor, but Hu Shi just happened to graduate with a doctorate this year, and after he finishes dealing with some trivial matters, he will leave the United States and return to China.

Jin Yuelin came to Columbia University in 1914 and started his doctoral studies today. If nothing unexpected happens, he will graduate with a doctorate in 2020.
