That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 662 Teacher Ke is here

"Mr. Li, Ms. Wen, the real estate company has just sent a batch of information about properties for sale. Please check and see when you are free. I will notify them to look at the houses."

Perhaps the two red envelopes worked. For several days after the New Year, secretary Lisa worked hard to help Li Ye find a house, as if she was planning to keep Li Ye in San Francisco.

"Thank you, Lisa. I'll take a look and let you know if there's anything I like."

"Okay, call me anytime if you need me."

As a flower grower, he naturally has a strong obsession with "buying a house and land", so even if Li Ye can't come to San Francisco several times a year in the future, he still wants to buy a house of his own.

Moreover, Li Ye also got the support of Wen Leyu on this point. The little girl had been grumbling for several days, "The internship period is two months!" How can you live in a hotel all day?

Even if you don't live there permanently, it's good to keep the house there and let it go up in price. After all, Li Ye said that the houses here will also go up in price just like those in Beijing.

When she bought the big courtyard house on Fuyou Street, Wen Leyu felt painful for several days, but now seeing the house prices in Beijing changing every day, she has to calculate it eight times in her mind every day.

It’s so cool to follow Li Ye in doing business and make money while lying down.

"Here, hurry up and pick one! They're all pretty much the same, don't get dazzled by the choices."

After Lisa left, Li Ye handed the property album to Wen Leyu and let his future wife decide.

Wen Leyu also watched it with great interest.

Women are naturally picky about their "home", especially when the price easily reaches hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. It would be strange if Wen Leyu didn't pick one that she was very satisfied with.

However, today, after seeing the photo of a house, Wen Leyu was deeply attracted.

Li Ye smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Did you finally see something satisfying today?"

Wen Leyu nodded obediently, pursed his lips, and said, "It's just a little expensive."

"A bit expensive? How expensive?"

Li Ye came over to take a look and felt that it was not expensive, just over two million US dollars.

But the more than two million in 1986 are not the same as the more than two million decades later.

However, this property is not a house, but a country estate covering more than one thousand acres, located between Silicon Valley and San Francisco, with convenient transportation.

Li Ye flipped through the photos and couldn't help but say, "Hey, you know what, it looks really good!"

This estate is located in a hilly area. One part is planted with grapes and other crops, while the other part retains the original appearance of the mountains and lawns. The surrounding scenery is very beautiful.

And this price is for a package sale, including several horses, several cars, more than 10,000 bottles of wine, and a helicopter.

For young people like Li Ye and Wen Leyu, such a scenic manor with large tracts of land belonging to "private territory" is extremely attractive.

After all, in the mainland at this time, the "big landlords" had disappeared for many years.

"Go and see!"

"Okay, I'll go and see it tomorrow."

Wen Leyu excitedly called Lisa and asked her to make an appointment to see the house.

As long as the people in Lighthouse can make money, their service attitude will be absolutely impeccable. The next morning, the real estate agency took Li Ye, Wen Leyu and others to a place called "Crappo Manor".

Jeff didn't understand the situation in Silicon Valley, so he asked Gary to come and help.

On the way, Gary said to Li Ye: "I did some research yesterday. The owner of this manor invested in two projects in Silicon Valley last year, both of which failed. So he is in urgent need of funds now, and the offer of 2.3 million is not low."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Okay, I'm only responsible for checking whether the house is satisfactory. As for the price, I'd like to trouble Jeff to help negotiate it. Of course, I will pay according to the custom of the Lighthouse." "Of course, I'm happy to help."

The people at Lighthouse are not embarrassed to talk about money. Gary thinks that he helped Li Ye save money, so it is reasonable for Li Ye to pay him.

When Li Ye and others arrived, the owner of the manor, Mr. Crapo, was already waiting at the gate of the manor.

There is a fence outside Crapo Manor, marking the boundaries of private territory, so it is not easy to enter without the other party's permission.

"Oh, are you from Hong Kong Island? My father once went to the Far East and he often told me about that beautiful land when I was a child."

"Two million, three hundred thousand is not going to be any lower. I have put twenty years of hard work into this estate. I can confidently say that there is no more beautiful estate in the whole of San Francisco."

The old man was very talkative and did not show any discrimination against Li Ye and Wen Leyu's skin color, but he was very strict when it came to the price.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Compared to the Philoli Manor, which one is more beautiful?"

"Oh, young man, your joke is not funny. More than two million dollars is not enough to buy Philoli."

The old man smiled but was not angry. After all, Filloli Manor was later known as one of the most exquisite surviving country manors in the United States in the 20th century. It later became famous throughout the world because of the meeting between the two giants of East University and West University.

But to be fair, the old man's manor does have beautiful scenery, but because he only pursued beauty, he had no intention of making money by growing grapes.

Looking at the crop area that was no more than one-third of the area, and a stream whose direction had been deliberately changed, Li Ye could guess that the financial situation of the estate must not be very good.

However, since we are buying this kind of manor, we cannot just consider the economic aspects.

If we only count the profits, Li Ye only comes a few times a year, and he has to lose money every year to pay the workers' wages, plus all kinds of messy taxes, just in exchange for a few thousand bottles of wine, it's not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.

But if family and friends occasionally come to the lighthouse and invite them to stay on the estate, riding horses, shooting targets, or fishing in their spare time, then the emotional value provided cannot be measured by money.

After all, he is the youngest richest man in Asia. Without a manor, it would be inconvenient to entertain certain guests.

In the end, Li Ye only pointed out the problem that the manor house was too old, and left the rest to Gary to discuss.

Wen Leyu and Fu Yiru have already started to communicate with the horses in the stable.

Seeing Li Ye coming over, Wen Leyu smiled and asked, "How did the talk go?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem if the old man is short of money."

Wen Leyu smiled and said, "Then can we find someone to clean up the room? Watching the sunset here must be more beautiful than in the hotel."

Li Ye nodded and said, "You and Xiao Ruo will go and assign the rooms later. There will be one for Aunt Ke and Uncle Wen, one for my mother, one for my sister, and one for my eldest brother and his wife. You will be busy."

Wen Leyu blinked and asked in surprise: "My parents' room? Why are my mom and them here?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "They will come eventually. Do we have to hide the fact that we are buying a house from them?"

Wen Leyu curled her lips and said, "It's better to keep it a secret. If they really come and give you a meeting to recall the past, will you be able to bear their nagging?"

Li Ye spread his hands: "Okay then! You have to keep this a secret! It won't be my business then."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Wen Leyu made a face, patted her chest with a smile, and took on the responsibility.

"."

But Wen Leyu was a pessimist this time. A few days later, Teacher Ke really came.
