More than half an hour later, Ye Chen finally arrived at the Tan Palace.
Tan Palace is the premier luxury residence in Shanghai and one of the top ten luxury residences in China.
Years ago, the "Top Ten Super Luxury Residences in China" list was released, and Tan Palace topped the list!
Although it is no longer at the top of the list, its popularity is still very high.
When the Tan Palace was first built, it was announced that it was an artwork prepared for the elite of society, targeting the highest-end clients in Shanghai and even China.
Back in 2005, the value of a villa in Tangong had already exceeded 100 million.
Few people can say for sure what the value of the Tan Palace is now, since all 18 villas have long been sold.
Now, more than a decade later, its value has increased many times over.
The Dan Palace consists of eighteen villas, covering a total area of 0.6 square meters, and was designed by the world-renowned WATG architectural firm.
Every villa in the Tan Palace is built with the finest building materials, such as the stone.
All the stone used in Dan Palace comes from surface mines in the Alps.
The Louvre, Versailles and other world-famous palaces are said to have used this type of stone.
For example, the villa's decorations and furniture are made of top-grade mahogany, a very precious wood that is not allowed to be traded internationally.
When the mahogany furniture first arrived in Shanghai, it was even detained by customs, and it was only after multiple rounds of coordination that it was able to clear customs smoothly.
Even small details like the curtains were carefully selected.
The curtains and fabrics in all the villas at Dan Palace are from "CustomSilk," a company whose main clients are royal families and super-rich individuals worldwide.
Among the eighteen villas, No. 1, No. 6, and No. 8 are the most valuable.
Relatively speaking, number 1 is the most precious, followed by number 6, and lastly number 8.
The reward Ye Chen received from this game was Villa No. 6.
As the renowned "No. 1 luxury residence in Shanghai," the security here is extremely strong. When Ye Chen first came, he had to show some documents before he could enter smoothly.
Ye Chen drove to Villa No. 6.
After parking the car in the front yard, Ye Chen did not go directly into the villa, but instead drove around the front and back yards.
Ye Chen's first impression of this place was that it wasn't a villa, but a palace that had been shrunk several times over.
Compared to Tomson Riviera, the environment here is better, the air quality is better, and it's quieter.
After looking around, Ye Chen entered the villa. The level of luxury here was much greater than the villas Ye Chen had owned before.
The only downside is that this place may be uninhabited for a long time, making it seem a bit deserted.
Moreover, some essential daily necessities are lacking.
Thinking about it, Ye Chen called the manager of the Bulgari Hotel in Shanghai and asked him to send someone to clean up Villa No. 6 and replace the furniture with brand new amenities.
If I want to live here in the future, I can move in anytime.
After admiring the sights, Ye Chen planned to take a stroll around the Tan Palace Villa area to familiarize himself with it.
Just as Ye Chen arrived in the front yard, a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old suddenly pointed at him and shouted:
"Grandpa, there's a thief at Uncle Qian's house."
Um?
Ye Chen was taken aback upon hearing this.
What's going on?
A short while later, an elderly man with white hair dressed in a Tang suit walked over.
"Xin Xin, don't talk nonsense."
The elderly man in the Tang suit patted his granddaughter's head and stopped her.
Needless to say, the security at Dan Palace is top-notch; how could thieves possibly break in?
"Grandpa, this is Uncle Qian's house. Uncle Qian isn't here. Isn't he a thief?"
The little girl asked in great surprise.
"He should be a descendant of your Uncle Qian."
The elderly man in the Tang suit took the little girl's hand and walked towards Ye Chen.
"Young man, I'm sorry."
The elderly man in the Tang suit immediately apologized to Ye Chen on behalf of his granddaughter.
"What is your relationship to Qian Xiangling?"
The elderly man in the Tang suit asked curiously.
"I am the new owner of this villa number 6."
Ye Chen didn't know Qian Xiangling, so he just answered like that.
"New owner, did Xiao Qian really sell Villa No. 6?"
The elderly man in the Tang suit sighed.
Afterwards, the elderly man in the Tang suit explained to Ye Chen.
It turns out they lived in villa number 5 next door and knew Qian Xiangling, the former owner of villa number 6.
Qian Xiangling is a well-known super-rich man in Shanghai, but his business is in Yuecheng, so he lives there and can only come to Tan Palace a few times a year.
Before the Lunar New Year, the elderly man in the Tang suit overheard that Qian Xiangling had gone bankrupt and was likely to sell the extremely valuable Villa No. 6.
This news caused quite a stir in Shanghai, with many of the city's wealthiest and most influential figures eager to acquire Villa No. 6. It even caught the attention of a prominent family in Shanghai.
Unexpectedly, this villa, number 6, ended up in the hands of this young man.
This young man is something else!
When the little girl saw Ye Chen suddenly appear at Villa No. 6, she instinctively thought that Ye Chen was a thief who had broken in.
"Brother, I'm sorry, Xin Xin misunderstood."
Knowing that Ye Chen was the new owner of this place and that she had misunderstood, the little girl lowered her head and apologized to Ye Chen somewhat embarrassedly.
"fine."
Ye Chen wasn't a petty person, and the little girl didn't mean any harm. It was good that the misunderstanding was cleared up.
"Young man, would you like to go to the old man's place for a cup of tea and a chat?"
An elderly man in a traditional Chinese suit extended an invitation.
His granddaughter had accidentally misunderstood someone, so he invited Ye Chen for a cup of tea as an apology.
"good."
Ye Chen nodded.
Since Ye Chen had just acquired the Tan Palace Villa, it would be a good idea to chat with the old man in the Tang suit and learn about Tan Palace and the surrounding neighbors.
Moreover, Ye Chen observed that the old man possessed an indescribable aura of authority, clearly the kind of person who once held great power.
Ye Chen had seen this kind of aura in the old master of the Ning family before.
However, the old man in the Tang suit exuded an aura that was even stronger than that of the old patriarch of the Ning family.
Moreover, the elderly man in Tang suit must be of very high status to be able to live in the Tan Palace.
A few minutes later, Ye Chen and the grandfather and grandson arrived at Villa No. 5.
