Wall Street Legend

Chapter 165 Rockefeller Manor

I specifically found a road that wasn't too congested, and Ye Dongqing didn't buy a helicopter yet, and didn't bother to spend time renting another one, so I crossed the East River from Queens and headed for the upper reaches of the Hudson River.

Opened a bottle of red wine from the car's small wine cabinet, and the three of them shared a cup in their hands. Romanée-Conti, who was more than ten years ago, occasionally drank some wine recently. Ye Dongqing asked a wine merchant to help him purchase a small batch.

He sat in the co-pilot seat, while Laura and his new friend Renee sat in the large rear seat. Renee tried her best to look elegant, like a face-changing face. She stopped talking about luxury goods, gossip, and continued to mock Laura. She tried to show the most elegant and charming side. At this moment, she said in a calm tone: "Very good red wine. My father once photographed a barrel of red wine with a history of 80 years, but it's a pity that he can't drink it at all."

Hearing this sound, Laura felt uncomfortable all over, and suddenly felt that her neighbors were scary, like a copy of those Upper East Side socialites in the TV series, who knew how to use their own advantages, such as the neckline, which was completely covered before, but was pulled down by Renee herself at some point, almost revealing half of it.

It's hard to believe that this "elegant", "knowledgeable" and "caring" woman just complained for hours on the plane, and even asked the flight attendant to clean up the blackheads to avoid making herself look uncomfortable.

Annoyed and laughing, because Laura saw that Renee was actually trying to seduce Ye Dongqing, especially after hearing that he was the creator of Facebook, which someone recently tried to buy for $400 million.

"I rarely drink red wine, and I can't bear the bitter taste. My friend told me that there will be a party for young people at night. If you like hunting or riding horses, you can be taken there tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you stay a few days longer. I will leave first at that time. I have something to deal with in Silicon Valley."

This is a vaccination in advance, because Miss Marcie will fly over from Paris tomorrow, and Ye Dongqing has not yet figured out how to explain it to Laura. Speaking of which, he and Laura are not in a relationship, and neither is Miss Marcie whom he met in the Bahamas. It seems that there is no need to explain anything.

Renee only knew that she was going to the party, but she didn't know the details, so she asked him, "So where are we going now, this is not the direction to downtown, right?"

"That's right, let's go to Westchester County first."

"Westchester County? Why do you want to go there?" As a New Yorker who grew up in Manhattan, Laura naturally knew what was there, and her tone was slightly surprised.

"A member of the Rockefeller family invited me to play. I'm very interested. You should like it too."

"Wow, God, is it the Rockefeller family I know?" Renee was shocked.

"There's only one Rockefeller family in America, and that's right..."

It was the first time in Richard Rockefeller's life that he held a party in person, and Ye Dongqing was just one of the more important guests.

In the upper class, a party is not just a party, but also reflects the ability of the party host. Because of his popularity, he has quite a lot of friends, and he is happy to come and visit.

The Rockefeller Manor originally covered an area of ​​3,400 acres, but was later divided up. Part of it was donated to the government and charitable foundations. Ordinary people can also come and visit. Neither Ye Dongqing nor Laura have been here. The schools they attend are relatively bad, and they are too lazy to organize students to come and visit.

The entire estate includes 75 buildings, 70 private roads, sculpture gardens, underground art galleries, playgrounds for children, a nine-hole golf course, farms, large wild forest parks and several lakes, as well as an artificial swan lake given to his wife by Rockefeller.

It is said that it was donated, but the descendants of the Rockefeller family still enjoy the right to use a large number of facilities. Together with their private guards, gardeners, motorcades, and servants, it is like a small self-sufficient country. Therefore, there was a saying: "If God had so much money, God would build such a residence."

The Rockefeller family has spent a lot of money to operate here for more than a hundred years. The classics reveal luxury. Up to now, there are still ten small Rockefeller families living here. Richard Rockefeller’s main line is only one of them. He lived in the luxurious villa where John D. Rockefeller lived. The walls are covered by green plants. There are two rows of trees and fountains in front of the door. The garden is very European.

After asking the driver to drive around to see it, Ye Dongqing had more ideas in his mind, about taking care of the 48-acre island. Compared with the Rockefeller family's estate, the original layout was still a little smaller. He sent a message to the architectural design firm responsible for the renovation and asked them to send someone to come here to have a look.

Rebuild it in a similar way, add a sculpture garden, and a small private museum. When he has money, he thinks he will buy some artworks and put them in it. I soon received a reply saying that I would take a look and recreate the planning and design drawings.

There were quite a lot of luxury cars on the roadside, and he finally saw the second Rolls-Royce Phantom with a Rhode Island license plate. The body was white, not as good-looking as black, but it was pretty good.

There are too many wealthy people in the United States. For example, an antique Ferrari 290MM with "600" written on the body may be able to exchange it for ten Bugatti supercars that have not yet been officially delivered. It can be auctioned for at least 20 million US dollars. Ye Dongqing has no doubts about this.

After getting off the car and calling Richard, he went out to receive Ye Dongqing in person, Laura just couldn't help but look at him, and Renee was so excited that she almost fainted, she kept winking while shaking hands.

Richard seemed very interested, winked at Ye Dongqing and said, "Let me introduce you?"

"This is my former secretary, Laura, who is about to go to England for university, and Miss Renee is a new friend Laura just met in England, and she just came to New York for a trip."

The meaning is obvious, Laura is his female companion, and Renee can hook up at will. Richard heard these meanings, immediately changed his attitude, and said to Renee with a smile: "Please call me Richard, are you interested in playing golf together later? I like your British accent. In fact, my mother is British."

Renee smiled even more happily: "Thank you, my father also owns an oil company, but it's not that big. It's just a small company that has been listed in London for many years. But that's not the point. I like your manor, it feels like a queen's palace."

Ye Dongqing and Laura looked at each other and smiled. They both thought the scene was interesting, and they could be regarded as bastards looking at Mung Bean and falling in love with each other...
