America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 49 Preparing for a Rainy Day

Ended with lunch with two Michaels.

Abel is going to go to the company.

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

Then each scattered.

The Maybach 62s was driving in Manhattan at noon, and the streets began to be 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.

At the back of the building, there are 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 [-] next year.

But
Plan ahead, maybe it's because of my own rebirth.

Butterfly effect, if Brother Arden makes trouble in advance.

Wouldn't that be the end of it?
about this disaster,

There are too many inside stories and conspiracy theories.

However, it is likely to happen.

If it doesn't happen on September 9th, 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 parallel time and space,
Unfortunately for Gemini.

But that was most likely a random target chosen by brother Arden who was flying the plane.

If it's brother Arden, he won't choose Gemini at that time.

Instead, he chose some other building, such as the Woolworth Building.

Then hehe.

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

therefore
Before that incident, Manhattan is best to stay as little as possible.

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

After thinking about it, he picked up his cell phone and called Jones.

Not Catherine Jones, the glamorous stewardess.

Speaking of which, this beautiful stewardess 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, Mr. Smith. Greetings from David, your Personal Services Manager."

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

But it sounds like a spring breeze, worthy of a service industry person who serves the most senior 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 that things will be troublesome.

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

It 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 are afraid that the rich will find them if they have nothing to do.

Or don't want to look for them.

That's their real trouble.

"First thing, help me find an office."

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

This is him thinking about relocating the company.

It's nice to work in the Woolworth Building, but the main thing is that it's on Wall Street.

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

He had thought about moving the company a long time ago. He wanted to move to a newer building before.

Just move away from Wall Street now.

Wall Street itself is already a code name.

Not all financial capitals work there.

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

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

After talking about the first request, he started to talk about the second request.

"The second thing is to 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."

He suddenly discovered this matter.

My 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.

He stayed in Manhattan for a long time before, and he has no real estate elsewhere.

This is incredible for an American billionaire.

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

Given nearly two years, all of Manhattan could be at risk.

Then live a little farther away, or you can just buy a few more properties and store them.

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

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

"There is 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.

Across Brooklyn and Queens, the helicopter landed on the tarmac of a beachfront estate in King's Point, New York.

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

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

Abel jumped off easily, out of the range 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 looming, but you can see the silhouette of the United Nations Building.

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

"That's the United Nations Building. The total area of ​​this estate is 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 American houses have more high-end bathrooms.

In a mansion, 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.

More people, less toilets are not enough.

Moreover, 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, which 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.

The 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 had 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 was not surprised by this scene.

There are more bodyguards, and he has seen rich men who are more cautious.

In America, rich people are afraid of death.

Those who are not afraid of death often really die.
