Chapter 315 You Have to Compensate Me
"Little lazy cat, wake up~"
The next morning, Gu Wei, who had already gotten up and gone downstairs for morning exercise, returned to the room and found Nazha still sleeping soundly in bed.
"Yeah~"
Nazha slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Gu Wei in front of her.
"Can you let me sleep a little longer?"
She was acting coquettishly, and her voice was a little sticky as she had just woken up.
"I still have things to do today. If you don't get up, I'll have to leave you in the hotel and let Xiaotao stay with you."
“Don’t~
Then I’ll get up now.”
There was no way. Nazha didn't want to stay in the hotel alone. Although the service in a five-star hotel was very good, this was abroad and she was unfamiliar with the place. Her English was not good either, and she felt insecure without Gu Wei by her side.
He sat up from the bed, raised his arms and stretched, then got up to wash up.
Gu Wei stood by and looked at her with a smile on his face.
I have to say that although Nazha is not very smart, there is nothing wrong with her figure, facial features and skin condition. She is definitely a great beauty.
Especially when she came out of bed early in the morning without any makeup on her body or face, it was a feast for Gu Wei's eyes.
Naza bent down, picked up the pajamas beside the bed and put them on.
"Stop staring at me, it's embarrassing~"
While putting on her clothes, she spoke to Gu Wei who was looking at her and smiling.
"Appreciating beauty is human instinct. This is a normal male reaction, okay?"
“You’re always right”
After putting on her clothes, Nazha ignored Gu Wei and went to the bathroom to wash up.
She knew that time was running out, so she simply put on some light makeup, changed into going-out clothes, and went out with Gu Wei.
The lobby of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Real estate agent Ace sat upright on the sofa, waiting.
He was wearing a black suit and tie, and his hair was combed back with a lot of hair mud, making it shiny.
There was a black leather briefcase beside him, and he looked meticulous.
Already in his 40s, he is a veteran real estate agent in Los Angeles.
Having experienced the golden age of skyrocketing housing prices in the United States, and also survived the bleak days of the housing market collapse during the subprime mortgage crisis, his secret to persisting in this industry for more than 20 years is to treat every client seriously, only earn the money he deserves, and never be greedy.
I have looked up information about the client I am meeting today. He is a big star in China. It is said that he is very popular in the country across the Pacific Ocean. Just like Justin Bieber in the United States, he is an idol of countless young people.
He had a hunch that the chances of success for today's deal were very high.
He has also helped Hollywood stars find houses before. They are generous and decisive, and as long as you can win their trust, they will introduce many friends to you later. They are extremely high-quality customers.
Gu Wei and his group went down to the hotel lobby. When Ace, who was waiting, saw Yang Dan's figure behind Gu Wei, his eyes lit up and he quickly stood up to greet her.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, I'm Ace Joyce, your real estate agent. I'm happy to serve you."
Gu Wei turned his head to look at Yang Dan behind him, and saw her nod to him. Then, with a smile on her face, she said to the white man in front of her:
"Mr. Ace, I'll leave it to you today~"
"Mr. Gu, you're too polite. This is what I should do."
The two exchanged a few polite words, then walked out of the hotel, got into the car, and slowly drove towards today's destination, Beverly Hills.
Los Angeles has one of the world's most upscale shopping streets, the famous Rodeo Drive.
The streets are lined with all of Southern California's most expensive stores, and the Rodeo Drive II shopping mall, which opened a few years ago on the commercial street, is even known as the most expensive shopping mall in the world.
This place is completely opened for the wealthy and is the highest-end consumer market in the United States.
Extending from Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Hornbeck are known as Los Angeles' "Platinum Triangle" and are the most expensive residential areas in the United States.
But in fact, Beverly Hills firmly occupies the main position, and the other two areas cannot compare with Beverly Hills in terms of community scale or selling price.
Beverly Hills was built in 1914 and is located in the west of Los Angeles, nestled between the vast Pacific coast and the foot of Beverly Hills. It is a city within Los Angeles and is also known as the most exclusive residential area in the world.
In Los Angeles, countless Hollywood stars, technology upstarts and business tycoons have chosen to settle down in this complex of luxury homes.
With the help of Hollywood movies promoting it worldwide, Beverly Hills is no longer just the choice of wealthy people in Los Angeles. Rich people from all over the United States and the world have bought properties here.
Every community here contains wealth and power that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Whenever night falls, the city is brightly lit. Looking in this direction from Los Angeles, the cluster of mansions on the hillside with lights flashing are like stars in the sky overlooking the earth, making them out of reach for ordinary people in the city.
And money is the only ticket to this "city on the hill".
The car drove along Sunset Boulevard, passed the Beverly Hotel, and entered the real Beverly Hills.
The roads here are clean and tidy, the roads are wide, and there are many tall palm trees planted on both sides of the road.
It was a bit hot in Los Angeles, but once I entered Beverly Hills, I immediately felt much cooler.
While driving, real estate agent Ace told Gu Wei about the nearby properties, such as how many years this house has been around, which Hollywood star lives in that house, and that every property here is basically worth more than 2 million US dollars. The larger the mansion, the more expensive the house price. The further inland you go, the more likely you are to see luxury homes worth more than 10 million US dollars.
Soon, they arrived at their first destination of the day, a mansion located at 986 Stradella Road.
Built in 2009, it has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a gym, a wine cellar, and a private cinema. There is a rectangular swimming pool in the courtyard, surrounded by tall shrub walls.
Everything seems to be going well, and the owner is only asking $12.99 million, which is a great value.
However, the only thing that made Gu Wei not very satisfied was that the decoration of the villa was old-fashioned. It could be seen that the original owner was probably a rich man. Although all the necessary functional facilities were available, the style was not what Gu Wei liked.
After walking around, Nazha was very curious. It was the first time she had seen a high-end mansion of this level.
However, she knew her limits and when she saw that Gu Wei didn't say anything, she didn't make any comments.
After walking around, Gu Wei shook his head and said to the real estate agent:
"Mr. Ace, let's go to the next one~"
Ace nodded in agreement.
He was not surprised at this situation at all. No customer could make a deal after seeing the first house they chose.
Everyone makes comparisons from many angles and finally chooses the one that suits them best after comprehensive consideration.
Next, the group arrived at a house at 847 Tower Grove.
This house is larger than the one we just saw, and is decorated in the modernist style that Gu Wei likes. It has eight full-size bedrooms and nine bathrooms, and all the necessary functional rooms.
But there is also a problem. The house is located halfway up the mountain and the terrain is a bit lower than the surrounding area, which greatly affects the view. Looking up, part of Los Angeles is blocked by dense woods.
Since you come to Beverly to choose a house, the view must be wide, just like the river view houses in Shanghai. Even if the location is not much different, the price will be very different depending on whether it is a river view house or not.
Leaving the house, the vehicle drove up the winding mountain road until it stopped at 988 Angelo Parkway in the Santa Monica Mountains.
The name of this place also tells us what the most prominent feature of this house is.
No. 988 Angelo View Drive is located on a relatively protruding part of the mountainside. It is built against the mountain and has three floors. Standing in the house and looking down, you can see the entire Los Angeles, and in the distance you can see Santa Monica Beach and the Pacific Ocean.
The entire villa is decorated in a very modern style, with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a gym, a wine cellar, a yoga room, a private cinema, and more.
At the outermost edge of the courtyard on the first floor is a landscaped swimming pool. You can imagine how refreshing it would be to look down through the high protective glass after getting tired of swimming in it.
In a bedroom in the middle of the third floor, Gu Wei stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance.
"How about this villa?"
“Very good. Both the location and the decoration layout exceeded my expectations.”
Nazha honestly expressed her thoughts.
After turning up and down again, Ace came up with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu, this mansion was developed and built by William Morse this year. The property rights are still in the hands of the developer. If you purchase it now, William Morse promises to give you a 5% discount on the original price and give you some precious wine to decorate your wine cellar."
The original asking price of this property was US$19.99 million, which was reduced by 5% to US$18.99 million.
The reason why the land is in very good condition in all aspects but the price is not as high as expected is because the area of this house is smaller than other luxury houses, only about 12,000 square feet, or 1,100 square meters.
This is the luxurious life of the wealthy in capitalist countries. A mansion of 1,100 square meters is considered very small among the top mansions in Beverly Hills.
The real mansions here that are worth hundreds of millions of dollars are all calculated in acres, or to be more precise, they should be manors.
After making the decision in his heart, Gu Wei did not hesitate any longer.
"Prepare the contract, this is the house."
"Okay, Mr. Gu, I will help you with the formalities as quickly as possible."
Ace was overjoyed to get Gu Wei's reply and quickly made a phone call to contact him.
Although we looked at three houses in total, because they were efficient and the distances were not far, it was just noon now.
Gu Wei doesn't have to worry about any follow-up matters. The professionals hired by Yang Dan will connect with the real estate agency and the developer. All Gu Wei has to do is sign and pay.
Although the price of the house was 18.99 million after the discount, Gu Wei still paid more than 20 million US dollars for various taxes and insurance premiums.
In the United States, as long as you have money, you can do everything very efficiently.
In just one day, all the procedures for the house were completed.
After finally signing the contract, Ace shook hands with Gu Wei with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu, if you have any real estate questions in Los Angeles, you can always contact me. I will definitely provide you with the most professional service."
"OK, thanks!"
"By the way, Mr. Gu, I also sold the villa not far from you. The buyer was also a young Chinese man, but he was nowhere near as handsome as you.
You are all compatriots, maybe you can go out and expand your network when you have time."
Before leaving, Ace kindly gave Gu Wei a message.
With a mansion, there was no need to stay in a hotel anymore, so Gu Wei and Nazha moved in that day.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the sunset glow in the sky, dyeing the "City of Angels" into a brown and yellow color. The lights in the city have not yet turned on. At this time, Los Angeles is like the color tones in Hollywood movies of the last century, with a sense of nostalgia.
As the sky grew darker, lights in the distance lit up one after another, and the "City of Angels" gradually returned to being the second largest modern city in the United States.
Gu Wei, lying on a bench by the swimming pool, watched the whole process of this change and felt a shocking beauty.
He took a sip of the watermelon juice on the small table next to him, then shouted towards the swimming pool:
"The temperature difference between day and night in Los Angeles is quite large, be careful not to catch a cold!"
After swimming another lap, Nazha heard Gu Wei's voice and prepared to go ashore. She also felt that it was indeed colder than in the afternoon.
Swim to the edge of the swimming pool, right in front of Gu Wei.
Nazha was wearing a bikini swimsuit with very little fabric, briefs on the lower body, and a prismatic bra on top that only covered the important parts, leaving her slender waist and large areas of snow-white skin exposed.
She only dared to wear this swimsuit when she was on vacation with Gu Wei.
After coming out of the water, Nazha threw her head back vigorously, and her wet hair was thrown behind her. She straightened her voluptuous upper body and stretched out a hand to smooth her hair from top to bottom. The whole posture was indescribably seductive.
Gu Wei's attention was also drawn over.
"Isn't this the same scene from [Charlotte's Troubles] where Qiuya comes out of the water? The movements are probably exactly the same."
He thought to himself that it seemed that girls could learn many things on their own, such as how to make themselves more beautiful.
Gu Wei stood up and handed her the bath towel.
Nazha wiped her body and sat on the recliner next to Gu Wei.
"Tomorrow's flight back home."
Gu Wei said lightly.
"You're not in such a hurry. I was thinking we could stay in Los Angeles for a while. We just bought this house."
Naza was a little reluctant.
It was a rare opportunity for them to spend some time alone together, and she cherished it especially.
"There's no other way, there are still many things waiting for me to do in China.
You can take a vacation anytime, but you can’t delay your work.”
"Okay~"
Gu Wei has made the decision, and Nazha has no choice but to obey even if she is unwilling.
After such a long time, she has developed the habit of obeying Gu Wei in everything.
Uh~ maybe obedience would be more accurate.
Nazha wiped her wet hair with a towel, feeling a little depressed.
She looked at Gu Wei lying next to her, and suddenly took a step and sat on him, leaning down, with her hands on both sides of his shoulders, her undried hair still dripping water on Gu Wei.
"You have to compensate me~"
She said a little angrily.
"Compensation for what?"
Gu Wei was a little confused.
"I'm not happy now, you have to make me happy!"
After saying that, she leaned over and whispered her request into Gu Wei's ear.
How to say it, Nazha’s compensation is more like a reward to Gu Wei, which is a very novel experience.
"I'm fine, but it's a little cold at night. You'll easily catch a cold if you do this."
"It's okay. Isn't this a heated swimming pool? Just turn up the water temperature a bit. We won't feel cold if we don't get out of the water."
Nazar said indifferently.
Now that things have come to this, how could Gu Wei, as a normal man, not agree to this request?
He stood up and carried her in a princess hug. Nazha's weight of over 100 pounds felt as light as cotton in his hands.
The two of them maintained this posture and slowly entered the swimming pool, walking all the way to the transparent protective glass at the outermost edge.
Looking down, you can see the entire night view of Los Angeles.
At this time, Nazha hugged Gu Wei's neck with her arms and buried her head in his chest, perhaps feeling a little embarrassed.
But it doesn’t matter. With such a beautiful woman and such a beautiful view, it’s only natural for Gu Wei to take the initiative.
