In addition to the slightly old infrastructure, this is another shortcoming that Han Chudong has discovered. At a glance, you can see twenty or thirty people, some having picnics on the grass, some riding bicycles, or taking a walk.

In addition, there was some garbage on the ground and car horns could be heard.

He was planning to buy a new home for himself. This environment obviously could not meet Han Chudong's needs. Before coming here, he thought it should be quiet and comfortable.

Han Yiqiang's abdominal wound had just healed and he had returned to work last week. He said: "Part of this place is open to the public, and part of it is exclusively for us members. We also hold some public events from time to time."

"…Forget it, I'll make a phone call first and let's go look somewhere else. I suddenly don't want to buy this place anymore."

"Hmm? What?"

"I want to build a comfortable house for myself. It'd be better if it's a little further away from the city. The air isn't good enough and it's noisy when there are too many people."

There is a slight deviation between reality and imagination. Han Chudong does not want to compromise on the house. He may live there for many years, being surrounded by tourists who come to relax all day long and breathing the turbid air of the city. This will definitely not meet his expectations.

The satellite phone I just bought came in handy. I looked through the notebook and found the real estate agents I had contacted before. I asked them where would be the most comfortable, quietest and safest place to live if budget was not a consideration.

As expected, the answer was Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Holmby Hills, collectively known as the "Golden Triangle" of Los Angeles residential areas. In addition, there is the emerging Malibu Beach, where you can see the sea just by opening the window. Santa Monica Beach is also recommended.

I often go to the West Los Angeles area and know what the mansions of the rich people there look like.

Han Chudong is not short of money, but what is troubling him is that it is a bit far from the company. For example, in Beverly Hills, there are thirty or forty traffic lights on the way, and it takes at least forty-five minutes to drive there during rush hour.

Then I thought, why bother taking a car? Isn't there a helipad on the roof of the office building I rented? Besides, I don't live there every day. I immediately asked the other party to prepare and meet at the entrance of Macy's in Beverly Hills.

When Han's father saw that the golf course he had been longing for was gone, he couldn't help but complain a few words, saying that he had come here in vain and should have talked first. But when he thought that his son was going to buy a house in Beverly Hills, a place he had never even dared to think about, his mood suddenly improved.

People say how much money Han Chudong has, but his dad has no idea. Anyway, he has so much money that he has a long list of it.

It's different with houses. The Chinese people's enthusiasm for houses has never faded. They get in their cars immediately as if they were injected with chicken blood. They say they must buy one with a large garden and a swimming pool. It would be best if they could see the whole Los Angeles from the balcony, just like in the movies.

…

Beverly Hills is located in the west of Los Angeles. Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard constitute the main roads of Beverly Hills.

Beverly Boulevard and Rodeo Drive are the shopping districts. Most of the surrounding residents live in the relatively flat area south of Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills, but the houses north of Sunset Boulevard are much more expensive than other areas. The most expensive houses in Beverly Hills are located halfway up the mountain.

After meeting with the real estate agent, we first visited the most expensive house in the area, which was priced at US$6.4 million, had 15 guest rooms, 15 bathrooms, and covered an area of ​​2,700 square meters.

Just as Han's father had hoped, one could overlook most of downtown Los Angeles. It was a French-style building with light gray exterior walls. The interior had been renovated and even had a wine cellar, a gym, and a private cinema. The overall atmosphere was dim, and a lot of dark red wood was used.

How should I put it? At this price, there is nothing wrong with the house itself and the environment.

However, when Han Chudong imagined himself living there, he always felt something was a little bit awkward. It might be because the floors were too low and the space utilization was too unreasonable. There was still a certain gap between it and the top luxury house he had imagined.

After I told the real estate agent my idea, he was shocked. He thought, what kind of picky client is this? He can't even look down on a house worth more than 6 million US dollars! ? I contacted my colleagues decisively, and when he arrived, I took him to the next door to have a look.

The houses, designed by the same construction company, have similar interior layouts and an area of ​​only 2,200 square meters.

Both his father and Mochizuki Kiko were very satisfied, but Han Chudong still felt awkward. He figured out the key to the problem and said frankly, "The house is very nice, but the area seems a bit small. Compared to buying these houses, I would rather own a manor where I can build a helipad and dig a lake to raise fish. Is there any land for sale nearby? The larger the area, the better. As long as the price is right, maybe I will buy it and ask a designer to help build it myself, just like the Rockefeller manor and the Rothschild family manor."

"Excuse me, are you sure you have enough funds? The cost of building a house here is much higher than other places. There is a vineyard on the top of the mountain. Its area is definitely enough, but the selling price alone is more than five million US dollars. If you want to change the land planning use and build a house on it, you not only need to have connections in the city hall, but also spend a lot of money, which may be as high as tens of millions of US dollars."

The real estate agent from another company who had just arrived added, "This is different from the suburbs. This is Beverly Hills."

While speaking, he also looked at the real estate agent that Han Chudong found, as if silently asking his colleague whether he was reliable.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Of course I know it's Beverly Hills. I can buy an ordinary house like this with three days' income. How big is the area of ​​the mountaintop vineyard you just mentioned?"

As soon as Han Chudong finished speaking, the agent who questioned his financial resources was dumbfounded. He was a little confused and wondered if he had heard it wrong. Earning two million US dollars a day? This is almost impossible! Of course, the net profit is not that much, but considering the crazy increase in the value of the company itself, it is not bragging.

The two real estate agents walked over and had a brief conversation, then decisively took them up the mountain to look at the land.

The 173 hectares of vineyards cover more than 2,000 acres, but only one-tenth of the area is actually used to grow grapes, and the rest is wasteland and weeds and trees.

After a quick inspection of the area, Han Chudong simply couldn't understand the land price here. The houses not far away were so expensive, but such a large piece of land only cost more than 5 million US dollars? After asking in detail, he found out that the ownership of the land was complicated, and it was difficult for ordinary people to build houses on it. The value of the building itself was far greater than the value of the land. If you want to develop this area into a residential area, it may cost tens of millions of US dollars just to transform the greening and roads, not to mention the investment in building houses.

Some real estate developers had set their sights on this area before, but they quickly gave up because they felt the profits were too little.

After listening, Han Chudong asked: "What if I only use 100,000 square feet (9,300 square meters) of land to build a house, and the rest of the land is used to build a garden? Doesn't it mean that I only need to complete the planning of a small piece of land?"

"This is too extravagant, no one will do this. Also, the rich people down there won't allow too much noise and may block vehicles from entering. And cement, stone, etc., all need to be transported up from the bottom of the mountain, so they have to pass through their residential areas..."
