Li Yun and the others could not imagine how much money it would cost to buy a "luxury house" like this.

"It should be less than one million US dollars." Chen Weidong calculated in his mind and quickly came up with a figure.

During this period, the housing prices in Manhattan were not particularly outrageous. One square meter was only about US$3,000, which was not expensive at all in the eyes of the rich.

Not even as good as Hong Kong Central.

Of course, this is only relative.

At the beginning of the century, the average monthly salary of native Americans was about US$2,000-3,000. In theory, one month's salary could buy one square meter in Manhattan.

But in fact, Americans are not obsessed with houses, and few people are willing to spend a large amount of their income to buy an expensive house.

As for a thirty-year loan to finance a house, they think it is even more unacceptable.

In the United States, many people choose to rent a house, so there is no difference.

"Damn, this is too expensive! Where did you get so much money?" Xiang Shaohua heard this number, converted the exchange rate, took a breath of air, gritted his teeth and looked at Qiao Zhiyong next to him.

According to the current exchange rate, this is close to tens of millions of RMB. The average salary of domestic people is just over a thousand yuan. Even if they don't eat or drink for a hundred years, they won't be able to afford it.

How can a mere development director afford such a large villa in the United States?

Simply appalling.

"Oh, Director Xiang, don't say that. I really didn't get much. Besides, I've already admitted my mistake to the organization." The fat middle-aged man took a few steps back in fright and quickly explained.

"Okay, okay, everyone is tired, let's find a room to rest first."

Seeing that Xiang Shaohua was grasping this issue and wanting to investigate further, Chen Weidong immediately waved his hand and interrupted their argument.

As a second-generation person, he has long been used to this kind of thing. Only Li Yun and others still have angry faces.

Qiao Zhiyong glanced at Chen Weidong gratefully, and then arranged rooms for all of them.

The interior space of this villa is very large, with as many as nine bedrooms. All kinds of daily necessities are fully prepared, including high-end electrical appliances and furniture. It is quite luxurious.

For safety reasons, Chen Weidong and Chen Jie lived in the second-floor attic of the villa, while Li Yun and Qiao Zhiyong lived in a room on the first floor.

They had just arrived and were cautious about this unfamiliar environment.

After two days, everyone gradually adapted to the water, soil and time difference in the northern hemisphere. The temperate continental climate made the human body feel very comfortable, without heat and humidity.

They checked the latest weather forecast and found that the next half month would be sunny and windy.

Some people may think that Chen Weidong came to the United States to acquire some instrument companies.

That's definitely not the case. He won't do such a laborious thing. It's enough to leave this kind of thing to his subordinates.

"Awei, what should we do next?"

Six people sat on the sofa and discussed what to do next.

Chen Jie made himself a cup of Americano coffee and shook his head after taking a sip. It felt too bland.

"Mr. Chen, if you need any help, just tell me. Don't be polite. I've been here for several years and I have a lot of connections in various fields." Qiao Zhiyong immediately patted his chest and expressed his stance.

Although he didn't know what exactly Chen Weidong and the others were coming to the United States for, this did not prevent him from eagerly welcoming them.

After all, Infinity Company also has a high reputation in the United States.

The two people in front of them are the youngest business tycoons in the world and legends in the financial world. The opportunity to contact them does not come all the time.

Even if Li Yun and the others don't say anything, he will do his best.

"Well, since we have come to New York, of course we must first visit the host here and see if we can meet the person in charge of the Rockefeller Foundation. This will make our next plan much easier."

Chen Weidong thought for a moment and decided to say hello to them first to avoid being said to be impolite later.

"In the name of the company, or as a private person?" Chen Jie continued to ask.

If it is in the name of Infinite Company, although we can definitely meet the other party, it will definitely be done in a big way.

The reporters in New York are not vegetarians. They are as good as reporters in Hong Kong.

By then everyone will know that they have arrived in the United States, and whatever they want to do will be noticed.

"Private, but maybe we can change the way." A smile flashed across Chen Weidong's face.

Wall Street.

This 540-meter narrow street is home to more than 3,000 financial and foreign trade institutions.

The New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange, which are said to catch a cold every time you sneeze, are also located on this crowded street.

Every day, the news and economic fluctuations transmitted from here are transmitted to every corner of the world by various consortiums, financial institutions, and monopoly organizations through various channels and intricate networks.

They are changing the context of the world economy all the time.

In this sense, New York's unparalleled economic influence is the most important core of the United States, its economic capital, and the economic center of the world.

At the same time, on the 105th floor of Tower 2 of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.

An old man stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the Rockefeller Center Plaza not far away.

In the late 1920s, financier John D. Rockefeller Jr., despite the shadow of the economic crisis that hung over the United States at that time, was determined to realize his long-buried ambition and build a building complex in the center of Manhattan, making him a world classic.

Recreation center!

After ten years of hard work, he successfully realized his plan.

This large-scale building complex covering an area of ​​8.9 hectares has opened up a new style of urban design.

The divisions and height configuration of the building complex make the entire building complex present a perfect Ferris painting style.

It cleverly used the lobby, square, stairwell, and roadside to design a rest area and consumption area for pedestrians, fully catering to the psychology of the rising middle class in the United States in the 1930s.

It has become a model for serving the general public.

In the center of the building complex, there is a small sunken lowland square.

On the front of the square, there stands a shining golden statue of Prometheus in flight. Under the base of the statue is a small fountain pool, shining with sparkling waves.

Above the square, the open space is fully utilized and the green space is cleverly conceived, making this the heart of New York City.

One hundred and fifty-nine flags representing various member states of the United Nations are flying high above the square.

Therefore, it is also called the Oasis of Peace.

Such a beautiful architectural complex has been deeply loved by New York citizens as soon as it was completed.

After that, a large number of tourists came here for leisure and entertainment, and it soon became a landmark building in New York City after Wall Street, and even a symbol of wealth in the United States.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the old man stared for a long time at the crowds of people resting and children playing by the square.
Chapter completed!
