Chapter 592: Teacher Ke is really here

"Mr. Li, Ms. Wen, the real estate company has just sent a batch of information on properties for sale. You can see when you have time, and I will notify them to show you the houses..."

Perhaps it was because of the two red envelopes, but for several consecutive days after the New Year, secretary Lisa worked hard to help Li Ye find a house, with the intention of keeping Li Ye in San Francisco.

"Thank you, Lisa. I'll take a look first, and I'll notify you if I find one I'm satisfied with."

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

Chinese people have a strong obsession with "buying houses and land," so even if Li Ye can't come to San Francisco many times a year in the future, he still wants to buy a house of his own.

And on this point, Li Ye also received Wen Leyu's support. The little girl had been muttering for several days, "The internship period is two months! There's no reason to stay in a hotel all day."

Even if you buy it and don't live in it often, it's good to let it appreciate there. Anyway, Li Ye said that the houses here are the same as in Beijing, and they will also appreciate.

When buying that large courtyard on Fuyou Street, Wen Leyu also felt heartache for several days, but now watching the houses in Beijing change prices every day, her little abacus in her heart can be played eight times a day.

Doing business with Li Ye, you can make money lying down, it's really cool.

"Here, pick one quickly! They are all about the same, don't get dazzled."

After Lisa went out, Li Ye handed the real estate photo album to Wen Leyu, letting the future wife make the decision.

And Wen Leyu also looked at it with great interest.

Women's pickiness about "home" is innate, especially with prices of hundreds of thousands of dollars, it would be strange if Wen Leyu didn't pick one she was ten percent satisfied with.

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

Li Ye asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Finally saw one you're satisfied with today?"

Wen Leyu nodded obediently, pursed her lips, and said: "It's just a bit expensive."

"A bit expensive? How expensive?"

Li Ye leaned over and took a look, feeling it wasn't expensive, just over two million dollars.

But two million in '86 is not the same as two million decades later.

However, this property is not just a house, but a rural estate covering more than 1,000 acres, located between Silicon Valley and San Francisco, and the transportation is very convenient.

Li Ye flipped through the photos and couldn't help but say: "Sss, you don't say, it really looks good!"

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

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

For young people like Li Ye and Wen Leyu, this kind of scenic estate where large tracts of land belong to "private territory" has an attraction that is not ordinary.

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

"Let's go take a look!"

"Okay, let's go see it tomorrow."

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

As long as Lighthouse people have money to make, the service attitude is absolutely nothing to say. The real estate agent took Li Ye, Wen Leyu, and others to this place called "Clapo Estate" the next morning.

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 investigated yesterday. The owner of this estate invested in two projects in Silicon Valley last year, and both failed, so he is in urgent need of funds now, and the quote of 2.3 million is not low..."

Li Ye smiled and said: "Okay, I only care about whether I am satisfied with the house. As for the price, I have to trouble Jeff to help negotiate. Of course, I will pay the remuneration according to the habits of the Lighthouse."

"Of course, I'd be happy to help."

Lighthouse people won't be embarrassed to talk about money. Gary thinks he helped Li Ye save money, so it's only right for Li Ye to pay the remuneration.

When Li Ye and the others arrived, the owner of the estate, Mr. Clapo, was already waiting at the entrance of the estate.

The outer perimeter of Clapo Estate has a fence, marking the boundary of the private territory, so if you don't get the other party's permission, it's not good to enter privately.

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

"2.3 million, not a cent less. I have put twenty years of effort into this estate. I can confidently say that there is no estate more beautiful than mine in the whole of San Francisco."

The old man was very talkative and didn't show discrimination against Li Ye and Wen Leyu's skin color, but he was very firm on the price.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Then compared to Filoli Estate, which one is more beautiful?"

"Oh hehe, young man, this joke of yours is not funny. Two million dollars is not enough to buy Filoli."

The old man smiled, but didn't get angry. After all, Filoli Estate is known as one of the most exquisite rural estates in the United States in the 20th century, and later became famous all over the world because of the meeting between the two giants of the East and the West.

However, objectively speaking, the old man's estate is indeed beautiful, because he only pursued beauty... and didn't plan to rely on growing grapes to make money.

Li Ye looked at the crop area that was no more than one-third, and a stream that had been specially modified in direction, and could guess that the financial situation of this estate was definitely not very beautiful.

However, since you buy this kind of estate, you naturally can't just count the economic account.

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

But if you say that occasionally family and friends come to the Lighthouse, invite them to stay in this estate, ride horses, shoot, and fish in their spare time, then the emotional value provided cannot be measured by money.

No matter what, he is also the youngest billionaire in Asia. Without an estate, it is not very convenient to entertain certain guests.

In the end, Li Ye only pointed out the problem that the main house of the estate was too old, and left the rest to Gary to negotiate.

And Wen Leyu and Fu Yiruo had already started to communicate feelings with the horses in the stable.

Seeing Li Ye come over, Wen Leyu asked with a smile: "How is the negotiation?"

Li Ye smiled: "The old man is short of money, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

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

Li Ye nodded and said, "Later, go with Xiaoruo and assign the rooms. Auntie Ke and Uncle Wen's, my mother's, my sister's, my big brother and sister-in-law's... you're going to be busy."

Wen Leyu blinked and asked in surprise: "My mom and dad's room? How could my mom and the others come here?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "They will come eventually. Do you think we bought a house and have to hide it from them?"

Wen Leyu curled her lips and said: "Hide it if you have to. If they really come, they will hold a bitter-sweet meeting for you. Can you stand their nagging?"

Li Ye spread his hands: "Then okay! You are the one who wants to hide it. It's none of my business when the time comes."

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

Wen Leyu made a face, and even patted her little chest with a smile, taking it all on herself.

"..."

But Wen Leyu was a crow's mouth this time. A few days later, Teacher Ke really came. ===== CHAPTER 593 =====
